Multiple joint osteoarthritis (MJOA): What's in a name?
Review in Osteoarthritis and cartilage, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it
10 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 12 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
objectiveTo summarize the current state of the literature regarding multi-joint osteoarthritis (MJOA) and discuss important future directions.
designA narrative review of the author's work and other key references on this topic with a focus on the Johnston County studies, definitions of MJOA and their impact, multi-site pain in osteoarthritis (OA), genetics and biomarkers in MJOA, and perspectives on future work.
resultsMJOA is variably defined and lacks a clear consensus definition, making comprehensive study challenging. Involvement of both symptoms and structural changes of OA in multiple joints in an individual is common, but patterns vary by sex, race/ethnicity, and other factors. Outcomes (e.g., general health, function, falls, mortality) are negatively impacted by a greater whole-body OA burden. Recent genetic and biomarker studies including whole-body OA assessments have begun to shed some light on potentially unique factors in the MJOA population.
conclusionsConsideration of MJOA is essential for ongoing study of OA phenotypes, epidemiology, risk factors, genetics, biomarkers, and outcomes, to fully understand and eventually limit the negative impact of OA burden on health.
