Real-world evidence in rheumatic diseases: relevance and lessons learnt

TL;DR: Future guidelines for disease management may consider it relevant to include information from RWE in addition to that available from clinical trials, to help devise management guidelines that are harmonious with routine practice settings.

Individuals with medial knee osteoarthritis show neuromuscular adaptation when perturbed during walking despite functional and structural impairments.

TL;DR: The results illustrate that people with knee OA respond similarly to healthy individuals when exposed to challenging perturbations during functional weight-bearing activities despite structural, functional, and neuromotor impairments.

Editorial: Total Joint Replacement Outcomes in Patients With Concomitant Comorbidities: A Glass Half Empty or Half Full?

TL;DR: The results revealed that less pain preoperatively and a greater number of painful joints reduced the likelihood of achieving a satisfactory outcome, and the overall proportion of subjects achieving a successful outcome was lower than the 80–90% success rates typically quoted or documented in literature syntheses of patient reported outcomes of TJR.

A systematic review and meta-analysis into the effect of lateral wedge arch support insoles for reducing knee joint load in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis.

TL;DR: The findings do not support the use of LWAS insoles for reducing knee load and an optimal LWAS treatment should provide the appropriate height of arch support and amount of lateral wedging.

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.

Grading quality of evidence and strength of recommendations.

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.
