Imaging of osteoarthritis-recent research developments and future perspective.
Review in The British journal of radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers.
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.
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
In osteoarthritis research, imaging plays an important role in clinical trials and epidemiological observational studies. In this narrative review article, we will describe recent developments in imaging of osteoarthritis in the research arena, mainly focusing on literature evidence published within the past 3 years (2014-2017). We will primarily focus on MRI including advanced imaging techniques that are not currently commonly used in routine clinical practice, although radiography, ultrasound and nuclear medicine (radiotracer) imaging will also be discussed. Research efforts to uncover the disease process of OA as well as to discover a disease modifying OA drug continue. MRI continues to play a large role in these endeavors, while compositional MRI techniques will increasingly become important due to their ability to assess "premorphologic" biochemical changes of articular cartilage and other tissues in and around joints. Radiography remain the primary imaging modality for defining inclusion/exclusion criteria as well as an outcome measure in OA clinical trials, despite known limitations for visualization of OA features. Compositional MRI techniques show promise for predicting structural and clinical outcomes in OA research. Ultrasound can be a useful adjunct to radiography and MRI particularly for evaluation of hand OA. Newer imaging techniques such as hybrid PET/MRI may have a potential but require further research and validation.
