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

objectivesThis study aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) injections of ArtiAid®-Mini (AAM) and Ostenil®-Mini (OM) for the treatment of trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis. PATIENTS AND

methodsBetween February 2018 and April 2020, this 24-week, double-blind, prospective, randomized, non-inferiority trial included a total of 17 patients (8 males, 9 females; mean age: 60.3±9.5 years; range, 42 to 76 years) who were treated with either intra-articular AAM (n=8) or OM (n=9). The primary outcome was pain according to a change in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 12 weeks after the last injection. The secondary outcomes included the change of VAS at Weeks 2, 4, and 24 after the injection, satisfaction, range of motion (ROM) of trapeziometacarpal joint, pinch strength, grip strength, and adverse events at Weeks 2, 4, 12, and 24 after the injection.

resultsEight patients with AAM and eight patients with OM completed the follow-up. No significant differences in primary and secondary outcomes were observed between the two groups at baseline and each time point (p>0.05). The intra-group differences were significant in each time point.

conclusionThe intra-articular injection of either AAM or OM is effective and safe for patients with trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis up to 24 weeks.
