Articular cartilage of the rabbit knee after synovectomy: a scanning electron microscopy study.
Article in Journal of anatomy, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We sought to study the effect of synovectomy on the surface morphology of articular cartilages of the rabbit knee using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fifteen rabbits were surgically synovectomised and allowed to regenerate their synovia during time intervals ranging from 3 to 44 wk. Cartilage specimens were shaved from 5 distinct articular sectors of synovectomised, contralateral and sham-operated knees and prepared for SEM using tannic acid. Applying structural reinforcement by tannic acid was found to secure the in vivo surface morphology of the cartilages and thus production of surface irregularities during preparation was excluded. The surface morphology of cartilages both from the synovectomised and contralateral joints was found to differ from that of intact healthy rabbits. A 'chaotic' nature of the altered cartilaginous morphology persisted as late as 44 wk postsynovectomy. Cartilages from sham-operated joints did not differ detectably from normal cartilages.
