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

This study investigates the efficacy of a collagen membrane as a substitute for autologous periosteum in atelocollagen-assisted autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) using J-TEC autologous cultured cartilage (JACC®). Sixty-nine patients with knee joint chondral defects underwent ACI using JACC®-34 with periosteum-covered ACI (P-ACIs) and 35 with collagen-covered ACI (C-ACIs). Clinical outcomes were compared through patient-reported measures, International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) Cartilage Repair Assessment (CRA) scores at second-look arthroscopy one year postoperatively, and adverse event incidence. Postoperative subjective scores significantly improved up to two years, with no significant differences between P-ACI and C-ACI groups. However, C-ACI exhibited a lower adverse event rate (p = 0.034) and significantly higher ICRS CRA scores (p = 0.0001). Notably, C-ACI outperformed P-ACI in both femoral condyle and trochlea assessments (p = 0.0157 and 0.0005, respectively). While clinical outcomes were comparable, the use of a collagen membrane demonstrated superiority in ICRS CRA during second-look arthroscopy and adverse event occurrence.
