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

To identify serum biomarker(s) for predicting knee cartilage volume loss over time, we studied 139 knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients from a previous 24-month clinical trial cohort. Targeted metabolomic profiling was performed on serum collected at baseline. The pairwise metabolite ratios as proxies for enzymatic reaction were calculated and used in the analysis. Cartilage volume loss between baseline and 24 months was assessed quantitatively by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Data revealed an association between the serum ratio of lysophosphatidylcholine 18:2 (lysoPC 18:2) to phosphatidylcholine 44:3 (PC44:3) and the cartilage volume loss in the lateral compartment (β = -0.21 ± 0.04, p = 8.53*10
