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

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disease that is characterized by cartilage degradation. Iron deposition in the joints is common during the pathogenic progression of OA and recent studies have indicated that iron overload is an important contributor to OA progression. Calcium chelators have been reported to inhibit iron influx via modulating transferrin receptor protein 1 internalization, and they have been identified as a potential approach to the treatment of iron overload‑induced diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of calcium chelators on the progression of iron overload‑induced OA. Primary chondrocytes were treated with various concentrations of ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) to mimic iron overload
