Estimation of the efficacy of the different OA treatments from the Huskisson plot. Data were fitted to a straight line forced to pass through the origin. The slope measures the efficacy of the treatment, and values are given at the right side of the lines. Results from VAS (A, C, E) and WOMAC (B, D, F) in control patients not treated with cells (A, B), and patients treated with either 10 (C, D) or 100 million cells (E, F) are compared. Results 1 and 4 years after cell application are given (black circles and red inverted triangles, respectively). The blue dashed lines represent no effect (horizontal, slope 0) and perfect treatment (45 degrees, slope, 1). Linear regression analysis and statistical significance of the slope (difference from 0) is given. NS, not significant, *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001
