Recurrence-Free Survival after Synovectomy and Subsequent Radiosynoviorthesis in Patients with Synovitis of the Knee-A Retrospective Data Analysis.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundPersistent knee synovitis leads to joint discomfort, incapacitating inflammation, and functional limitations. The conventional approach has involved surgical procedures to eliminate the actively inflamed synovial membrane. This study aims to investigate the recurrence-free survival and functional outcome after synovectomy and subsequent radiosynoviorthesis (RSO) in patients with knee synovitis.
methodsThirty-seven knees diagnosed with pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and peripheral spondyloarthritis underwent synovectomy and subsequent RSO between May 2005 and October 2016. The mean age was 34.9 ± 15.1 years, and the mean follow-up period was 84 ± 36.4 months. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Oxford Knee Score and the presence of swelling and pain at the last follow-up. Recurrence-free survival denotes the duration from synovectomy to surgical re-synovectomy.
resultsIn general, twelve knees underwent re-synovectomy after a mean follow-up of 34.8 ± 24.9 months. The recurrence-free survival was 83.8% at two years, 71.3% at five years, and 61.7% at ten years. The subgroup analysis revealed recurrence-free survival at two years in 63.6% of patients with PVNS, 86.7% of those with RA, and 100% of individuals with peripheral spondyloarthritis.
conclusionsThis study demonstrates that combined therapy for synovitis is an effective approach, significantly improving clinical outcomes.
