Acute Cartilage Injury Induced by Trans-Articular Sutures.
Article in Cartilage, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo determine the extent of acute cartilage injury by using trans-articular sutures.
methodsFive different absorbable sutures, monofilament polydioxanone (PDS) and braided polyglactin (Vicryl), were compared on viable human osteochondral explants. An atraumatic needle with 30 cm of thread was advanced through the cartilage with the final thread left in the tissue. A representative 300 μm transversal slice from the cartilage midportion was stained with Live/Dead probes, scanned under the confocal laser microscope, and analyzed for the diameters of (a) central "Black zone" without any cells, representing
resultsThe diameters of the Black (from 144 to 219 µm) and the Green zones (from 282 to 487 µm) varied between the different sutures (
conclusionsThe width of acute cartilage injury induced by the trans-articular sutures is about twice the thread thickness inside of the tissue. Less compressible monofilament PDS induced wider tissue injury in comparison to a softer braided Vicryl. Needle diameter did not correlate to the extent of acute cartilage injury.
