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

backgroundOsteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic progressive degenerative joint disorder which is characterised by strongly age-related regressive changes in articular cartilage. The objective of this study was to evaluate oxidative stress and antioxidant parameters in plasma and synovial fluid of patients with primary knee osteoarthritis. MATERIAL AND

methodsThirty-five OA patients and 35 healthy controls were recruited for this study. Nitrite, malondialdehyde (MDA), vitamin E, Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity (TEAC), and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) levels in plasma and synovial fluid were determined.

resultsPlasma nitrite levels in OA patients were significantly higher than those in healthy controls (p = 0.037). Furthermore, plasma MDA levels were significantly higher in OA patients than those in healthy controls (p < 0.001). Moreover, plasma vitamin E levels in OA patients were significantly lower than those in healthy controls (p < 0.001). Synovial fluid vitamin E levels of OA patients were significantly lower than paired plasma samples (p < 0.001). The total antioxidant capacities, as were measured by TEAC and FRAP assays in plasma of OA patients, were significantly lower than those in healthy controls (p < 0.01). MDA concentrations were positively correlated with nitrite concentrations but they were negatively associated with vitamin E and TEAC levels in synovial fluid of OA patients.

conclusionThe increased plasma levels of nitrite and MDA and the decreased plasma levels of vitamin E, TEAC, and FRAP indicated that oxidative stress was present in OA patients. These findings suggest that oxidative stress plays a potential role in pathophysiology of knee osteoarthritis.
