Delayed lubricin injection improves cartilage repair tissue quality in an in vivo rabbit osteochondral defect model.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Osteochondral lesions (OCL) are common among young patients and often require surgical interventions since cartilage has a poor capacity for self-repair. Bone marrow stimulation (BMS) has been used clinically for decades to treat OCLs, however a persisting challenge with BMS and other cartilage repair strategies is the inferior quality of the resulting fibrocartilaginous repair tissue. Lubrication-based therapies have the potential to improve the quality of cartilage repair tissue as joint lubrication is linked to local cartilage tissue strains and subsequent cellular responses including death and apoptosis. Recently, a full length recombinant human lubricin (rhLubricin) was developed and has been shown to lower friction in cartilage. This study investigated the effect of a single delayed injection of rhLubricin on cartilage repair in an
