Time-series biological responses toward decellularized bovine tendon graft and autograft for 52 consecutive weeks after rat anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
There is an essential demand for developing biocompatible grafts for knee anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). This study investigated cell infiltration into decellularized bovine tendon xenografts using a rat knee ACLR model. Twelve-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were used. At weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 26, and 52 (each period, n = 6) after ACLR, rats receiving decellularized bovine tendon (group D, n = 42) or autologous tendon (group A, n = 42) as grafts underwent peritibial bone tunnel bone mineral density (BMD), histological, and immunohistological assessments. BMD increased over time in both the groups until week 16 and then remained unchanged without exhibiting significant differences between the groups. Initially, cellularity in group D was lower than that in group A; however, by weeks 4-8, both the groups were comparable to the native anterior cruciate ligament group and cellularity remained unchanged until week 52. Initially, group A had more M1 macrophages, indicating inflammation, whereas group D had more M2 macrophages, indicating tissue regeneration. Nonetheless, the M1 and M2 macrophage counts of both the groups were comparable at most times. This study revealed the excellent recellularization and tendon-bone integration abilities of decellularized tendons using a cross-species model.
