The Diagnostic Value of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Knee Osteoarthritis and Its Correlation with Pain Stratification.
Article in Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of musculoskeletal ultrasound in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and to assess its correlation with pain stratification, with the goal of supporting early diagnosis and personalized pain management in KOA.
methodsA total of 128 patients with KOA were retrospectively selected. Based on their visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, the patients were categorized into mild, moderate, and severe KOA groups. Line charts and histograms were used to illustrate the distribution and variation of pain levels and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores. Scatter plots were generated to analyze the correlation between musculoskeletal ultrasound findings and pain scores.
resultsPreliminary analysis revealed a significant correlation between ultrasound findings and both VAS and WOMAC scores (P < 0.05). Line charts demonstrated an upward trend in VAS scores with increasing pain severity. Histograms indicated significant differences in the distribution of WOMAC scores across different pain stratification levels.
conclusionMusculoskeletal ultrasound demonstrates strong diagnostic value in KOA and shows a significant correlation with pain stratification. This non-invasive imaging modality may serve as an effective clinical tool for individualized pain assessment and informed treatment planning.
