Ultrasound-Guided Harvesting of Synovium for Regenerative Medicine of Cartilage and Meniscus Using Synovial Mesenchymal Stem Cells.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy for cartilage or meniscus pathologies, including osteoarthritis, requires the easy and safe collection of MSC source materials. Synovial MSCs are attractive cell sources for joint pathology because of their high proliferative and chondrogenic potential in vitro and in vivo. We developed an ultrasound-guided harvesting procedure for synovium for the regenerative medicine of cartilage and meniscus. A ∼1-cm skin incision is made at the proximal side of the patellae, and a forceps is inserted under ultrasound guidance of the suprapatellar pouch to grasp the synovium. Here, several synovium samples were retrieved and transported sterilely for culture at the cell-processing facility. After a 14-day culture of the nucleated cells, crystal violet confirmed colony formation. Cell growth was enough for MSC therapy of joint pathology (0.89 ± 0.06 × 10
