Arthroscopic Minced Cartilage Repair in the Glenohumeral Joint - Short Term Clinical Outcome in a 33-Year-Old Handyman: A Case Report.
Article in Orthopedic research and reviews, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Objective: Clinical outcome data for the novel minced cartilage procedure are sparse. While good results have been shown for the knee joint, this is the first report in the current literature regarding this increasingly important procedure in the glenohumeral joint. Case Description: A 33-year-old handyman with a cartilage defect in the humeral head underwent an all arthroscopic one-stage cartilage repair with the AutoCart Results: At six months, follow-up the outcome parameter showed excellent results, the joint pain decreased to numeric rating scale (NRS) 0. The postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a thin cartilage layer in the treated area with sufficient integration to the surrounding tissue. The cartilage in the former defect zone presented a homogeneous signal, which was comparable to the intact cartilage. Conclusion: This case report underlines the growing interest in single-stage arthroscopic minced cartilage procedures and shows promising results in the glenohumeral joint. Yet, larger investigations with long-term follow-up are necessary to provide reliable clinical data to determine if comparable results can be achieved over time.
