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

Transarterial periarticular embolization (TAPE) is a novel interventional procedure for local pain therapy in osteoarthritis. The reduction of local hypervascularization is achieved by supraselective embolization of periarticular arteries using embolic agents. The procedure described herein results in a reduction in both pain and the use of analgesics. The drug was originally developed for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and initial small studies and case reports indicated that it was effective for other joints, including the fingers and shoulders. In the domain of rheumatology TAPE opens up new therapeutic perspectives, particularly for cases of treatment-resistant monoarthritis and arthritis associated with checkpoint inhibitors.
