The Role of Ultrasound Versus Radiography in Knee Osteoarthritis: A Bilateral Comparative Study.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. 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
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is traditionally evaluated using conventional radiography (Rx), which is limited to assessing structural bone changes and provides only an indirect measure of cartilage status through joint space width (JSW). Musculoskeletal ultrasonography (US) allows direct visualization of cartilage, marginal osteophytes, meniscal extrusion, and joint effusion, but its added value over standard radiography in bilateral knee assessment remains incompletely characterized. This observational, cross-sectional study prospectively included 30 symptomatic patients (60 knees; 24 women; median age 69 years, range 56-85) with clinically diagnosed knee OA, all evaluated by bilateral weight-bearing radiography and standardized US. Non-parametric tests were used (
