Ultrasound Imaging in Knee Osteoarthritis: Current Role, Recent Advancements, and Future Perspectives.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers.
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
While conventional radiography and MRI have a well-established role in the assessment of patients with knee osteoarthritis, ultrasound is considered a complementary and additional tool. Moreover, the actual usefulness of ultrasound is still a matter of debate in knee osteoarthritis assessment. Despite that, ultrasound offers several advantages and interesting aspects for both current clinical practice and future perspectives. Ultrasound is potentially a helpful tool in the detection of anomalies such as cartilage degradation, osteophytes, and synovitis in cases of knee osteoarthritis. Furthermore, local diagnostic and minimally invasive therapeutic operations pertaining to knee osteoarthritis can be safely guided by real-time ultrasound imaging. We are constantly observing a growing knowledge and awareness among radiologists and other physicians, concerning ultrasound imaging. Ultrasound studies can be extremely useful to track the response to various therapies. For this specific aim, tele-ultrasonography may constitute an easy tool aiding precise and repeated follow-up controls. Moreover, raw radio-frequency data from US backscattering signals contain more information than B-mode imaging. This paves the way for quantitative in-depth analyses of cartilage, bone, and other articular structures. Overall, ultrasound technologies and their rapid evolution have the potential to make a difference at both the research and clinical levels. This narrative review article describes the potential of such technologies and their possible future implications.
