Ultrastructural histochemistry of the surface lamina of normal articular cartilage.
Article in The Histochemical journal, 1985. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Two collagen-poor, ultramicroscopic layers are described at the surface of canine articular cartilage. They are distinguished by staining with an electron-dense cationic dye, Cupromeronic Blue, in a critical electrolyte concentration technique and by digestion with testicular hyaluronidase. The superficial layer, approximately 50 nm thick, stained at low electrolyte concentrations but failed to stain in conditions specific for sulphated glycosaminoglycans. It was hyaluronidase-resistant and may be either glycoprotein or protein in nature. The deeper layer, 100-400 nm thick, stained positively at electrolyte concentrations specific for sulphated glycosaminoglycans but not in conditions specific for keratan sulphate. It was removed by hyaluronidase digestion. This layer probably represents a chondroitin sulphate-rich proteoglycan. These surface layers may be important in the lubrication of the articular surface and in the permeability and compression resistance of the superficial cartilage zone.
