At the Edge of Orthopaedics: Initial Experience with Transarterial Periarticular Embolization for Knee Osteoarthritis in a Romanian Population.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
backgroundTransarterial embolization (TAE) of genicular artery branches is a relatively new technique that has emerged as a promising method for delaying invasive knee surgery in patients suffering from degenerative knee osteoarthritis (OA). In mild to moderate OA, invasive major surgery can be safely postponed, and patients with major risk factors now have an alternative. Our aim was to examine the impact of TAE on clinical outcomes in individuals with degenerative knee OA over a 12-month period.
methodsA case series of 17 patients diagnosed with knee OA and treated with TAE was included in the study. Every patient was clinically evaluated at different timeframes according to the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities' arthritis index, knee injury, and osteoarthritis outcome scores, and the 36-item short-form survey (WOMAC, KOOS, and SF-36).
resultsAt the first follow-up (1 month), KOOS and WOMAC improved from 46.6 ± 13.2 (range 27.3-78.2) to 56.5 ± 13.9 (range 32.3-78.4;
conclusionsTAE provided early pain reduction and considerable improvement in quality of life without complications for a consecutive sample of Romanian patients with mild to severe knee OA.
