Cartilage Defect Treatments: With or without Cells? Mesenchymal Stem Cells or Chondrocytes? Traditional or Matrix-Assisted? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses

<div>Forest plots and Begg’s funnel plots of studies comparing the traditional ACI with MACT. (a) Forest plots and Begg’s funnel plots conducted by using the number of patients achieved excellent and good results. (b) Forest plots and Begg’s funnel plots conducted by using the incidence of graft hypertrophy. (c) Forest plots and Begg’s funnel plots conducted by using the frequency of reoperation.</div>
