In-Office Needle Arthroscopy (IONA): may a traditionally orthopedic procedure enter the portfolio of interventional radiology?
Article in La Radiologia medica, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Arthroscopy has historically proved to allow accurate evaluation of the intra-articular structures of the knee, thanks the possibility of direct vision and palpation, and reduced perioperative morbidity. Over the last decade, the diagnostic role of arthroscopy has been further increased by its quite effective use in the treatment of the lesions. The recent and important advances in the technological-instrumental field have produced a safe visualization system used to pose a diagnosis in an outpatient setting, employing reduced-diameter arthroscopes (In-Office Needle Arthroscopy, IONA). The accuracy of MRI is unanimously recognized, but it shows some weaknesses when compared to arthroscopy that is the gold standard technique in case of chondral lesions, meniscal tears, or atypical synovial pathologies. In this short report, we propose the interventional musculoskeletal radiologist as possible performer of IONA, in specific settings, providing the patient, suffering from acute and chronic knee joint diseases, with a complete diagnostic approach, when MRI is not definitive.
