Combined surgical treatment and intraoperative adult stem cell application for osteochondral lesions of the knee: a case report and therapeutic approach.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. 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
The knee is a complex joint that enables a wide range of movements. It plays a key role in load bearing and joint stability. The limited regenerative capacity of cartilage, coupled with the progression to disabling conditions such as osteoarthritis, underscores the need for early intervention in osteochondral lesions. In this context, stem cell therapy has emerged as a promising orthopedic tool due to its regenerative and immunomodulatory properties. We present the case of a patient with chronic osteochondral knee lesions who experienced significant impairment in quality of life due to pain, swelling, and joint locking. The patient underwent surgery combined with the intraoperative application of adult stem cells. During a 25-month follow-up period after surgery a remarkable clinical improvement was observed, including the recovery of joint function and sustained symptom relief. This combined approach supports a novel therapeutic strategy for the structural and functional regeneration of the knee joint.
