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

Osteoarthritis (OA), a prevalent age-related disease, is increasingly recognized as a multifactorial condition. This comprehensive review provides a multifaceted perspective on the organ-joint crosstalk contributing to OA, transcending the traditional focus on local joint pathology. Based on current research, we discussed the brain-joint, gut-joint, muscle-joint interactions in the etiology and progression of OA. In brain-joint axis, the neuroendocrine regulation, circadian rhythms, and leptin signaling influence joint tissues. We also discussed the role of prostaglandin E2 in skeletal interoception and its potential as a therapeutic target. The gut-joint axis is underscored by the impact of gut microbiota dysbiosis on systemic inflammation and metabolic disorders, both of which are implicated in OA pathogenesis. Furthermore, age-related sarcopenia, characterized by muscle mass and strength loss, is identified as a significant risk factor. Sarcopenia may contribute to OA progression through compromised mechanical support, systemic inflammation, and muscle-derived myokines. Finally, we synthesize the evidence supporting the modulation of circadian rhythm, skeletal interoception, gut microbiome, and muscle mass as innovative strategies for OA management. The organ-joint crosstalk is integral to the complex pathogenesis of OA, highlighting the multifactorial nature of OA and the potential for targeted therapeutic interventions. By integrating these multidimensional perspectives, we aim to enhance our understanding of OA pathogenesis and explore potential pharmacological targets.
