Current Status of Stromal Vascular Fraction from Adipose Tissue in the Clinical Application for Osteoarthritis Treatment.
Review in Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundRecently, regenerative medicine based on cell-based therapies has emerged as a therapeutic possibility for the management of osteoarthritis (OA). Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is a cellular mixture obtained from lipoaspirate processed through either mechanical or enzymatic separation. SVF has been applied in several countries to treat OA patients without robust supporting evidence or comprehensive evaluation.
methodsThis review purposes to summarize clinical evidence regarding SVF as a therapeutic for OA and to introduce the author's perspective. Eleven studies were found suitable for this review; out of these, seven were randomized clinical trials and four were cohort studies.
resultsA review of controlled studies suggests that SVF may offer better symptomatic relief than placebo or hyaluronic acid in the long term, and the effect of SVF is comparable to that of bone marrow aspirate concentrates.
conclusionProspective studies with improved control over the cell isolation method, dosage, and patient selection are necessary to provide convincing evidence of the benefits of SVF in treating OA.
