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

Purpose: The treatment of cartilage lesions remains a challenge. Matrix-associated autologous chondrocyte implantation has evolved to become the gold standard procedure. However, this two-step procedure has crucial disadvantages, and the one-step minced cartilage procedure has gained attention. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcome of an all-autologous minced cartilage technique in cartilage lesions at the knee joint. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 71 patients (38.6 years ± 12.0, 39,4% female) with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed grade III-IV cartilage defect at the medial femur condyle ( Results: All clinical scores significantly improved after surgical intervention ( Conclusion: An all-autologous minced cartilage technique for chondral lesions at the knee joint seems to be an effective and safe treatment method with good clinical and radiological short-term results. Level of Evidence: Level IV.
