Association of Knee Osteoarthritis Treatment Types, Patient Characteristics, and Medical History With Subsequent Risk for Total Knee Arthroplasty: Data From a New Real-World Registry.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2025. 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
Background: This article examines predictors of subsequent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) within 6 months of nonoperative intervention based on (1) patient demographics; (2) knee osteoarthritis (OA) severity; and (3) various nonoperative treatments (cryoneurolysis with superficial or deep genicular nerve block, intra-articular [IA] hyaluronic acid injections, nonsteroidal inflammatory drug injections, IA-corticosteroids injections, or IA-triamcinolone extended-release [IA-TA-ER] injections). Methods: Patients who had unilateral knee OA and received nonoperative intervention were identified in the Innovations in Genicular Outcomes Research registry between September 2021 and February 2024, identifying 505 patients. Baseline patient demographics were tabulated by knee OA severity as graded by Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) and nonoperative treatment, identifying patients who underwent TKA within 6 months. Predictors of TKA were identified using 20 potential demographic/clinical variables and calculating individual hazard ratios. Results: Obesity and KL grade IV knees were significant predictors of TKA within 6 months of nonoperative treatment ( Conclusions: Apart from obesity and KL grade IV knees, it remains challenging to identify which patients are at risk for conversion to subsequent TKA after nonoperative treatment. It appears IA hyaluronic acid and IA-TA-ER are most associated with decreased conversion to TKA within 6 months.
