In-Situ Cartilage Functionality Assessment Based on Advanced MRI Techniques and Precise Compartmental Knee Joint Loading through Varus and Valgus Stress.

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
Stress MRI brings together mechanical loading and MRI in the functional assessment of cartilage and meniscus, yet lacks basic scientific validation. This study assessed the response-to-loading patterns of cartilage and meniscus incurred by standardized compartmental varus and valgus loading of the human knee joint. Eight human cadaveric knee joints underwent imaging by morphologic (i.e., proton density-weighted fat-saturated and 3D water-selective) and quantitative (i.e., T1ρ and T2 mapping) sequences, both unloaded and loaded to 73.5 N, 147.1 N, and 220.6 N of compartmental pressurization. After manual segmentation of cartilage and meniscus, morphometric measures and T2 and T1ρ relaxation times were quantified. CT-based analysis of joint alignment and histologic and biomechanical tissue measures served as references. Under loading, we observed significant decreases in cartilage thickness (
