The Evaluation of Meniscus Regenerative Effects of LIPUS-Induced CCN Proteins: Induction by LIPUS of CCN2 and Meniscus-Related Genes in Cultured Meniscus Cells and Meniscus Tissues.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Menisci are a pair of crescent-shaped fibrocartilages and composed primarily of type I collagen. Inner region of the meniscus has similar characteristics to articular cartilage. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been reported to have chondroprotective effects on chondrocytes by inducing the expression of chondrocyte differentiation markers and CCN2/CTGF production. Here, we describe an experimental approach that investigates the distinct cellular behavior of human inner and outer meniscus cells in response to LIPUS stimulation. Our experimental model can analyze the relationships between LIPUS-induced CCN2 and its repairing role in the meniscus.
