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

objectiveThe purpose of this overview of osteoarthritis (OA) biomarkers is to provide the non-specialist with a toolbox, based on experience acquired by biomarker researchers over many years, to understand biomarkers in general and their use in the OA field.

methodsWe provide an update on this subject since the OARSI Primer on osteoarthritis (OA) nearly a decade ago.

resultsSince the last update, the importance of molecular biomarkers has been increasingly recognized in the field, but no OA-related biomarkers have been adopted for routine use in clinical practice. The current lack of chondroprotective treatments for OA impairs the assessment, validation and qualification of the potential role of biomarkers as tools for monitoring disease status and patient responses to treatment of OA. Yet there is no lack of an evolving compendium of OA-related biomarkers, ever more fit-for-purpose, that could currently facilitate drug development for OA. We provide an abbreviated update and overview of specific soluble OA-related biomarkers for this new OARSI Primer on OA with OA-relevant examples encompassing the concepts of biomarker nomenclature, qualification, interpretation, measurement, reporting requirements, application to research, drug discovery and clinical care, and future needs for biomarker advancement.

conclusionAppropriate biomarkers should play a role at all stages of OA diagnosis, prognosis, drug development, and treatment. The future of OA biomarker research and development holds great promise as its foundation is increasingly robust.
