Bone marrow lesions in osteoarthritis: From basic science to clinical implications.
Article in Bone reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent musculoskeletal disease characterized by multiple joint structure damages, including articular cartilage, subchondral bone and synovium, resulting in disability and economic burden. Bone marrow lesions (BMLs) are common and important magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features in OA patients. Basic and clinical research on subchondral BMLs in the pathogenesis of OA has been a hotspot. New evidence shows that subchondral bone degeneration, including BML and angiogenesis, occurs not only at or after cartilage degeneration, but even earlier than cartilage degeneration. Although BMLs are recognized as important biomarkers for OA, their exact roles in the pathogenesis of OA are still unclear, and disputes about the clinical impact and treatment of BMLs remain. This review summarizes the current basic and clinical research progress of BMLs. We particularly focus on molecular pathways, cellular abnormalities and microenvironmental changes of subchondral bone that contributed to the formation of BMLs, and emphasize the crosstalk between subchondral bone and cartilage in OA development. Finally, potential therapeutic strategies targeting BMLs in OA are discussed, which provides novel strategies for OA treatment.
