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

Objective: Attempts to utilise growth factors (GF) such as bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) to treat osteoarthritis (OA) in the clinic have not secured widespread adoption. However, the novel crystalline GF formulation called PODS offers new perspectives. This study investigated the hypothesis that Polyhedrin Delivery System (PODS) BMP-2 and PODS BMP-7, compared with conventional BMP-2 and BMP-7 increase capacity for cartilage repair. Design: Sustained release from PODS BMP-2 and PODS BMP-7 and their effects on OA patient-derived cells as well as a chondrocyte cell line were first assessed Results: Both crystalline PODS BMP formulations strongly induced proliferation in primary as well as immortal cell line chondrocytes, outperforming conventional soluble BMP-2 and BMP-7. Furthermore, ECM-producing genes were upregulated and the production of ECM could be demonstrated. In the murine cartilage regeneration model, both PODS BMP-2 and PODS-BMP-7 improved cartilage repair assessed with both histological scoring methods. Conclusions: This study showed that the sustained release of GF from PODS BMPs is effective in promoting chondrogenesis
