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

There is a big need for the development of novel therapies for the safe management of chronic pain associated with OA. Here we reviewed PubMed (2015 onward) and ClinicalTrials.gov for ongoing and recently completed trials where pain in OA is the primary outcome measure. Three broad categories were identified: biological therapies, small molecules and cryoneurolysis. The most promising new strategy is blockade of nerve growth factor with antibodies. Two anti-nerve growth factor antibodies, tanuzemab and fasinumab, are in active development after the 2010 hold on trials was lifted in 2015. In addition, several active clinical trials are testing distinct mechanism-based interventions, including cytokine inhibition, selective μ, δ or κ opioid receptor agonists, zoledronate and intra-articular capsaicin. In addition to pharmacological approaches, cryoneurolytic strategies that directly target peripheral nerves may play a role in OA pain management, but efficacy profiles and long-term effects of such treatments need more study. Clearly, the therapeutic landscape for OA pain is rapidly expanding. Since symptomatic OA is a heterogeneous disease, the challenge will be to identify patients that will benefit the most from specific approaches.
