1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundMusculoskeletal ailments impact the lives of millions of people, and at times necessitate surgery followed by physiotherapy, drug treatments, or immobilization. Regenerative musculoskeletal medicine has undergone enormous progress over the last few decades. Sources of tissues used for regenerative medicine purposes can be grouped into autologous or allogenic. Although autologous sources are promising, there is a wide range of limitations with the treatment, including the lack of randomized controlled studies for orthopaedic conditions, donor site morbidity, and highly variable outcomes for patients. Allogenic sources bypass some of these shortcomings and are a promising source for orthopaedic regenerative medicine applications.

methodsA systematic search will be performed using PubMed, Elsevier, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases for articles published in English before May 2022. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement and guidelines will be used. Studies will be eligible if they apply to acute and chronic orthopaedic musculoskeletal complications or animal or human disease models. Publications must include the use of MSCs and/or tissue obtained from amniotic/chorionic membrane, amniotic fluid, umbilical cord, and/or umbilical cord-derived Wharton's jelly as an intervention. Placebos, noninjury models, acute injury models, non-injury models, and gold standard treatments will be compared. The study selection will be performed by two independent reviewers using a dedicated reference management software. Data synthesis and meta-analysis will be performed separately for preclinical and clinical studies. DISCUSSION: The results will be published in relevant peer-reviewed scientific journals. Investigators will present results at national or international conferences.

trial registrationThe Protocol will be registered on PROSPERO international prospective register of systematic reviews prior to commencement.
