1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Genetic studies have revealed that most loci associated with osteoarthritis (OA) show ethnic stratification, with limited overlap between Asian and European populations. Consequently, such studies have often focused on particular ethnic groups, with those performed in European cohorts yielding the most replicated associations. As for other common diseases, the OA susceptibility loci mapped to date account for only a fraction of disease heritability. Nevertheless, analysis of these loci could identify biological pathways related to OA pathogenesis. Such an approach is taken in this Review and provides valuable insights into OA aetiology. For example, several of the loci associated with OA contain genes encoding key regulators of skeletogenesis and endochondral ossification. Furthermore, direct and indirect regulation of gene transcription is highlighted as an important factor in this disease. Interestingly, genes encoding structural proteins of the cartilage extracellular matrix do not seem to be a repository for OA susceptibility. Therefore, susceptibility might operate at a regulatory rather than a structural level, which is a potentially promising finding, as the activities of regulators are amenable to therapeutic modulation. Greater clarity will emerge as more association signals are identified; nonetheless, patterns of aetiology are clearly discernible, from a molecular perspective, even with the relatively small number currently available.
