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

objectiveOsteoarthritis (OA) commonly affects weight-bearing joints and is characterized by articular cartilage breakdown combined with osteophyte formation at the joint margins and chronic nonspecific inflammation of synovium. Understanding the profile of inflammation in a patient population is an essential starting point to predict or prevent OA progression. The aim of this study was to identify the profile of selected biomolecules in synovial fluid (SF) and investigate the correlation according to gender, age, and severity of the disease within patients from among the general knee OA population.

designIn our study SF samples were aspirated from the knees of 65 OA patients (46 patients with early knee OA and 19 patients with end-stage knee OA according to the Kellgren-Lawrence grading scale). The concentration of interleukins (IL-6, IL-8), matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-13), MMPs inhibitors (TIMP-1, TIMP-2), cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), and adiponectin was analyzed using a multiplex ELISA-based approach.

conclusionsOur results indicate significant linear correlation of MMP-13 and COMP concentration with age (
