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

Objective: Preclinical models of osteoarthritis (OA) are crucial for the study of disease mechanisms and development of disease-modifying therapeutics. While surgical OA models, such as destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM), have been the gold standard in the field for decades, noninvasive joint loading-based models have increased in popularity and utility. To facilitate standardization of the noninvasive anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACLR) model in mice, we present the Methods: We provide 3d-printable fixture designs and a comprehensive description of the loading protocol, describe the expected mechanical output, and offer various troubleshooting strategies. We validate the mechanical accuracy and inter-operator reproducibility of the procedure and characterize the resultant post-traumatic OA phenotype by knee hyperalgesia testing, flow cytometry, μCT imaging, and histological assessment. Results: Across Conclusions: Increased standardization of joint injury is a critical aspect of the overall refinement of animal models of OA. The MoJO represents an affordable and highly reproducible option for implementing the mouse ACLR model of OA.
