Prospects for gene therapy in sports medicine.
Review in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
For the orthopedic sports medicine physician soft tissue injuries often present the greatest clinical problems. Not only do many of the most frequently injured tissues, such as the cruciate ligaments and articular cartilage, have very limited capabilities for spontaneous repair, but they also respond poorly to surgical or nonsurgical intervention. In this article we try to define the role of growth factors in these conditions and to outline concepts for future treatment based upon modulation of the native repair response. We suggest that gene transfer could improve the management of such injuries, particularly when used as vehicles for the targeted delivery of growth factors. The concept of gene therapy in orthopedic sports medicine can be extended to include disorders that present as laxity or mechanical weakness of ligaments. We speculate that subtle genetic differences between individuals may account for those who appear to be injury prone. In these cases it is likely that genes encoding the structural macromolecules of the matrix are defective. Local gene supplementation in such cases could be useful in the future.
