The Predictive Value of Early Postoperative MRI-Based Bone Marrow Parameters for Mid-Term Outcome after MACI with Autologous Bone Grafting at the Knee.
Article in Cartilage. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to longitudinally determine the prognostic value of early postoperative quantitative 3T-MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) parameters of subchondral bone marrow for 2-year clinical and MRI outcome after matrix-associated autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI) with autologous bone grafting (ABG) at the knee.
designConsecutive subjects who received MACI with ABG for treatment of focal osteochondral defects received MRI follow-up 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. Quantitative MRI included bone marrow edema-like lesion (BMEL) volume measurements and single-voxel magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS;
resultsAmong a total of 18 subjects (mean age: 28.7 ± 8.4 years,
conclusionLow subchondral BMEL volume and optimal restoration of the subchondral bone at early postoperative time points predict better 2-year clinical and MRI outcomes after MACI with ABG.
