TLDR
Twenty-five carefully worded recommendations have been generated based on a critical appraisal of existing guidelines, a systematic review of research evidence and the consensus opinions of an international, multidisciplinary group of experts for the management of hip and knee osteoarthritis.About:

Towards a definition of refractory neuropathic pain for epidemiological research. An international Delphi survey of experts
Blair H. Smith,Nicola Torrance,Janice A. Ferguson,Michael I. Bennett,Michael Serpell,Kate M. Dunn +5 more
TL;DR: An international consensus on measuring the epidemiology of refractory neuropathic pain is presented, aiming for consensus on the features required to define, for epidemiological research: (1) neuropathicPain; and (2) when NeuP is “refractory”.

The role of viscosupplementation.
TL;DR: Although IA HA has shown significant benefits in the middle-aged athletes, it is not a ubiquitous treatment option and success with corticosteroid injections can be used as a clinical marker for subsequent success with HA injections.

Tramadol for osteoarthritis
Karine Toupin April,Jacinthe Bisaillon,Vivian Welch,Vivian Welch,Lara J Maxwell,Peter Jüni,Anne W S Rutjes,M. Elaine Husni,Jennifer Vincent,Tania El Hindi,George A. Wells,Peter Tugwell +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the benefits and harms of tramadol alone and in combination with acetaminophen (paracetamol) or NSAIDs versus placebo or any comparator in people with osteoarthritis were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viscosupplementation in Knee Osteoarthritis: Evidence Revisited
TL;DR: Closer examination reveals that the evidence around viscosupplementation favors clinically important reductions in pain among higher‐molecular‐weight and cross‐linked formulations and is a safe option in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mannitol Preserves the Viscoelastic Properties of Hyaluronic Acid in an In Vitro Model of Oxidative Stress
TL;DR: This in vitro study demonstrates that mixing mannitol with HA protects the viscosupplement from ROS-mediated degradation and might therefore increase its intra-articular residence time without substantially modifying its rheological behavior.

Measuring inconsistency in meta-analyses
TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test
TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.

Assessing the quality of reports of randomized clinical trials : is blinding necessary?
Alejandro R. Jadad,R. A. Moore,Dawn Carroll,C. Jenkinson,David Reynolds,David J. Gavaghan,Henry J McQuay +6 more
TL;DR: An instrument to assess the quality of reports of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in pain research is described and its use to determine the effect of rater blinding on the assessments of quality is described.

Guyatt,Robin Harbour,Margaret C Haugh,David Henry,Suzanne Hill,Roman Jaeschke,Gillian Leng,Alessandro Liberati,Nicola Magrini,James Mason,Philippa Middleton,Jacek Mrukowicz,Dianne L. O'Connell,Andrew D Oxman,Bob Phillips,Holger J. Schünemann,Tessa Tan-Torres Edejer,H. Varonen,Gunn Elisabeth Vist,John W Williams,Stephanie Zaza +26 more
TL;DR: A system for grading the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendations that can be applied across a wide range of interventions and contexts is developed, and a summary of the approach from the perspective of a guideline user is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primary, Secondary, and Meta-Analysis of Research
TL;DR: The meta-analysis of research as discussed by the authors is an important feature of the research and evaluation enterprise, and it has been widely used in the field of computer science and computer engineering, especially in the context of education.
