A Prospective Clinical and Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Based Follow-up Beyond 10 Years After Arthroscopic Matrix-Induced Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation.
Article in The American journal of sports medicine, 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
backgroundLong-term studies are emerging reporting encouraging outcomes after matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI). While MACI has historically been undertaken via open arthrotomy, arthroscopic techniques have been reported. However, longer term clinical outcomes and/or graft survivorship after arthroscopically performed MACI are yet to be reported. PURPOSE: To present longer term clinical and radiological outcomes in patients after MACI performed arthroscopically on the femoral condyles. STUDY
designCase series; Level of evidence, 4.
methodsA total of 45 patients were prospectively recruited and underwent arthroscopically performed MACI to the medial femoral condyle (MFC; n = 31; defect size, 1.0-7.7 cm
resultsA significant improvement (
conclusionMACI performed via an arthroscopic approach provided sound clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and graft survivorship at a mean 13.6 years after surgery.
