The Intra-Articular Combination of Fentanyl, Dexamethasone, Clonidine, Ropivacaine, and Dextrose to Treat Pain Due to Knee Osteoarthritis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We report a case involving the pain management of a patient with knee osteoarthritis (KOA), where conventional treatment failed to provide pain relief. Instead, a multimodal approach including an intra-articular (IA) injection of a combination of various agents was applied successfully. The pharmacological treatment resulted in minimal improvement. After experiencing failure with IA hyaluronic acid and platelet-rich plasma injections, an IA combination of fentanyl 50 mcg, dexamethasone 8 mg, clonidine 150 mcg, ropivacaine 7.5% 5 ml, dextrose 30% 5 ml, and normal saline 5 ml was applied. The treatment led to a two-year pain relief. The multimodal approach seems to offer satisfactory and encouraging results as the improvement in the quality of life led to favorable physical and psychological outcomes in the patient.
