Association of physical performance with muscle strength and hip range of motion in hip osteoarthritis.

TL;DR: These breakpoints and ROC-derived cut points may be useful in identifying individuals for whom interventions that improve muscle strength or hip ROM would be most beneficial in individuals with hip OA.

Ultrasound-guided aspiration and corticosteroid injection of Baker's cysts in knee osteoarthritis: a prospective observational study.

TL;DR: Cyst aspiration with corticosteroid injection give pain relief and cyst volume reduction in patients with Baker's cyst and concomitant knee osteoarthritis, however, when compared with current literature, these results are similar to those obtained with intra-articular knee corticosterone injection.

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.

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.
