1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundXenogeneic menisci offer a promising biomaterial with high biocompatibility, closely resembling the native meniscus. However, to enable clinical application in humans, decellularization is essential to remove cellular components that may trigger graft rejection.

methodWe developed a combined decellularization protocol for bovine-derived meniscus tissue, integrating physical stimulation (sonication and vacuum), chemical treatments (hypotonic and hypertonic solutions, and sodium dodecyl sulfate [SDS]), and enzymatic digestion (trypsin and nucleases). The decellularization efficiency was confirmed not only by DNA reduction rate, but also by residual DNA, DNA fragmentation and histology. Subsequently, cytotoxicity, biocompatibility, and mechanical properties were assessed.

resultsThis combined decellularization achieved a DNA removal efficiency of up to 94.94%, enabled rapid decellularization within 5 days, and preserved collagen content, resulting in a high-quality xeno meniscal implant (XMI).

conclusionThe XMI produced through this combined decellularization process demonstrates strong potential as a scaffold for the treatment of meniscal injuries.
