Orthobiologic Products: Preservation Options for Orthopedic Research and Clinical Applications.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The biological products used in orthopedics include musculoskeletal allografts-such as bones, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage-as well as biological therapies. Musculoskeletal allografts support the body's healing process by utilizing preserved and sterilized donor tissue. These allografts are becoming increasingly common in surgical practice, allowing patients to avoid more invasive procedures and the risks associated with donor site morbidity. Bone grafting is one of the most frequently used procedures in orthopedics and traumatology. Biologic approaches aim to improve clinical outcomes by enhancing the body's natural healing capacity and reducing inflammation. They serve as an alternative to surgical interventions. While preliminary results from animal studies and small-scale clinical trials have been promising, the field of biologics still lacks robust clinical evidence supporting their efficacy. Biological therapies include PRP (platelet-rich plasma), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)/stromal cells/progenitor cells, bone marrow stem/stromal cells (BMSCs), adipose stem/stromal cells/progenitor cells (ASCs), cord blood (CB), and extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes. The proper preservation and storage of these cellular therapies are essential for future use. Preservation techniques include cryopreservation, vitrification, lyophilization, and the use of cryoprotective agents (CPAs). The most commonly used CPA is DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide). The highest success rates and post-thaw viability have been achieved by preserving PRP with a rate-controlled freezer using 6% DMSO and storing other cellular treatments using a rate-controlled freezer with 5% or 10% DMSO as the CPA. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have shown the best results when lyophilized with 50 mM or 4% trehalose to prevent aggregation and stored at room temperature.
