Expert consensus on glucocorticoids injection for knee osteoarthritis.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA), a degenerative disorder characterized by compromised physical function and diminished quality of life, imposes substantial burdens on patients, families, healthcare systems, and society. Stepwise therapeutic approach, initiated after first-line non-pharmacological interventions such as weight loss, exercise, and physical therapy, remains the cornerstone of KOA management, with glucocorticoids (GCs) injections widely adopted for rapid and effective pain relief. However, the absence of comprehensive guidelines or consensus documents specifically addressing GC applications has led to inconsistent clinical practices. To address this gap, a multidisciplinary panel of Chinese KOA experts developed this consensus through iterative discussions, synthesizing current evidence and domestic clinical experience. The final document outlines 22 recommendations encompassing GC selection, target population, timing of administration, dosing frequency and contraindications, aiming to standardize evidence-based GC utilization in KOA care.
