Subchondral bone abnormalities in the knee: imaging techniques, regional anatomy, and pathology.
Review in Skeletal radiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The subchondral bone is an integral structural component of the knee with key roles in shock absorption and load distribution. Injuries to the subchondral bone, which may occur secondary to various etiologies including trauma, degenerative disease, or repetitive overuse, are commonly encountered in clinical practice. Radiographs are generally performed as an initial imaging test to identify any gross osseous abnormalities. However, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice for the accurate evaluation and characterization of subchondral bone abnormalities, such as osseous contusion, insufficiency fracture, stress response, osteonecrosis, arthropathy, and neoplasm. Similarly, osteochondral derangements, including osteochondral fracture and osteochondritis dissecans, are also accurately identified with MRI. Therefore, knowledge of the MRI appearance of both normal anatomy and derangements of the subchondral bone are necessary for accurate diagnosis. This article aims to provide a review of the imaging features of subchondral bone abnormalities in the knee, highlighting key diagnostic findings and recommended practices in radiologic terminology and reporting.
