Osteoarthritis
The efficacy of metformin for pain, function, and quality of life in knee osteoarthritis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Semin Arthritis Rheum. 2026 01-Apr;():. 10.1016/j.semarthrit.2025.152908
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
