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

[Purpose] This study was performed to evaluate the long-term histopathological changes in knee-joint components including synovial membrane and joint capsule in a rat model of osteoarthritis (OA) induced by monosodium iodoacetate (MIA). [Subjects and Methods] Fifty male rats were used. OA was induced through intra-articular injection of MIA, and ten rats were randomly allocated to each of five groups induced with OA for 1, 2, 4, 6, or 8 weeks. At the end of each period, the knee components were examined histopathologically. [Results] After 1 and 2 weeks, chondrocytes were weakly stained. After 4 weeks, fibrillation, fissuring, and eburnation were observed, whereas after 6 weeks, chondrocyte clustering and osteophyte formation were detected. In the synovial membrane, the proliferation of spindle-shaped cells and a multilayered structure of the surface cells were observed at 1 and 2 weeks, but the degree of these changes decreased over time. In the joint capsule, a narrowing of the space between collagen fiber bundles was observed at 4-8 weeks. [Conclusion] The long-term histopathological changes of the joint components observed in a rat model of OA induced by MIA were similar to those detected in OA, but differed at specific times and tissues.
