Infiltration of micro-fragmented adipose tissue under local anesthesia for knee osteoarthritis treatment is a safe procedure: A case series.

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
introductionKnee osteoarthritis is a debilitating disease that has been increasing in prevalence, especially due to the aging population and rising incidence of obesity. Biological therapies (orthobiologics) have emerged, demonstrating efficacy in improving functional scores, including the injection of microfragmented Adipose Tissue (mFAT). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of adipose tissue harvesting and mFAT injection under local anesthesia. MATERIALS/
methodsA case series involving 34 patients who underwent adipose tissue collection from the abdomen under local anesthesia, without sedation, in a sterile environment, and who received the infiltration of microfragmented adipose tissue after single-time preparation, using a fat washing and microfragmentation kit.
resultsEvaluation was performed at the time of the procedure and after 7 days of follow-up. Only ecchymosis (76.5 %) and mild discomfort at the harvested site (70.6 %), as well as mild discomfort at the infiltrated knee (61.8 %), were identified. No major adverse events were identified.
conclusionThe harvesting and injection of mFAT under local anesthesia is safe, with no major adverse events identified during this procedure.
