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

Chondrocyte isolation requires a combination of enzymatic and mechanical digestion of cartilaginous tissues in order to release the chondrocytes. Extracted primary chondrocytes will then adhere to standard tissue culture plastics, typically in small clusters, over a period of a few days in monolayer culture. Chondrocyte populations are expanded in a basal medium containing serum, supplemented with ascorbic acid, antibiotics, and sometimes antifungal agents and growth factors. Here we describe the standard research grade and good manufacturing practice (GMP) protocols used for the isolation and expansion of chondrocytes by the Oswestry/Keele University Orthopaedic Research (OsKOR) group and John Charnley GMP and MHRA licensed laboratory, both based at the RJAH Orthopaedic Hospital, Oswestry, UK.
