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

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disorder marked by chronic pain, inflammation, and cartilage loss, with current treatments limited to symptom relief. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a pivotal role in OA progression by regulating inflammation, chondrocyte survival, and matrix homeostasis. However, their multifaceted signaling, via G proteins or β-arrestins, poses challenges for precise therapeutic targeting. Biased agonism, where ligands selectively activate specific GPCR pathways, emerges as a promising approach to optimize efficacy and reduce side effects. This review examines biased signaling in OA-associated GPCRs, including cannabinoid receptors (CB
