Study on ultrasound-enhanced molecular transport in articular cartilage.
Article in Drug delivery and translational research, 2024. 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
Local intra-articular administration with minimal side effects and rapid efficacy is a promising strategy for treating osteoarthritis(OA). Most drugs are rapidly cleared from the joint space by capillaries and lymphatic vessels before free diffusion into cartilage. Ultrasound, as a non-invasive therapy, enhances molecular transport within cartilage through the mechanisms of microbubble cavitation and thermal effects. This study investigated the mass transfer behavior of solute molecules with different molecular weights (479 Da, 40 kDa, 150 kDa) within porcine articular cartilage under low-frequency ultrasound conditions of 40 kHz and ultrasound intensities of 0.189 W/cm
