Intraarticular Corticosteroids for Hip Osteoarthritis: A Review.
Review in Cartilage, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionHip osteoarthritis is a prevalent condition responsible for important pain and disability. Most available guidelines for nonsurgical management of hip osteoarthritis recommend a combination of nonpharmacological and pharmacological treatment modalities. Intraarticular corticosteroid injections have been used for decades, although evidence is quite scarce, and many controversies remain.
methodsThis article reviews the available literature from Medline and Embase and discusses the evidence for intraarticular corticosteroid injections in hip osteoarthritis, where only 5 randomized controlled trials were found in the literature. These are analyzed in this article, which also aims to explain the main characteristics and features of glucocorticoids, along with their contraindications and potential adverse effects.
resultsAvailable randomized controlled trials show that intraarticular corticosteroid injections provide pain relief and functional improvement in hip osteoarthritis. This efficacy has not been shown with intraarticular hyaluronic acid injections.
conclusionThis review shows that intraarticular corticosteroid injections are efficacious in hip osteoarthritis and that this benefit can last up to 12 weeks.
