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

Background: Particulated autograft cartilage implantation is a surgical technique that has been previously described for the repair of osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT). It uses cartilage fragments harvested from the OLT that are minced into 1-2-mm Methods: Thirty-one patients undergoing primary arthroscopic surgery for their OLT consented to have their loose or damaged cartilage fragments removed and analyzed in the laboratory. Harvested specimens were minced into 1- to 2-mm Results: An average of 419 000 cells was able to be obtained from the harvested OLT fragments. The cells were 71.2% viable after mincing. Specimens from younger patients and from lesions with worse chondromalacia adjacent to the OLT had significantly higher cell numbers. Those from lateral lesions and with worse neighboring chondromalacia had a significantly higher cell density. None of the remaining physical OLT characteristics studied seemed to significantly affect cell number or viability. Conclusion: A large number of viable cells are available for immediate autografting by removing the loose or damaged cartilage from an OLT and mincing it into 1- to 2-mm Level of Evidence: Level IV, case series.
