Review in Der Orthopade, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

backgroundAn increase in interstitial bony fluid occurs in bone-marrow edema (BME). The exact pathogenetic processes still remain unknown. BME is an unspecific finding that can occur on its own or accompany multiple diseases and pathologies. GOAL: Literature review and presentation of new guidelines. MATERIAL AND

methodsThis is a narrative literature review followed by current advice for the therapy of atraumatic osteonecrosis of the hip, based on the recently published S3-guidelines for this disease. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The differentiation of at least 3 different etiologies is proposed (mechanic, reactive and ischemic). Difficult, but important, is the distinction between the mostly painful, but benign entities (BME syndrome, bone bruise) and the progressive pathologies (osteonecrosis, arthritis, CRPS, tumour). Treatment options are dependent on etiology and clinic and can often be symptomatic. Core decompression is the surgical gold standard, leading to immediate pressure relief and therefore reduction in pain. Recently, it was shown that intravenous administration of Iloprost and bisphosphonates are also effective in achieving a reduction of BME and pain, with considerable improvement in the accompanying symptoms. The combination of core decompression and infusion seems to be another possible optimization ofthe therapy, in particular in the treatment of osteonecrosis.
