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.
Chondroprotection and the prevention of osteoarthritis progression of the knee: a systematic review of treatment agents.
Am J Sports Med. 2015 Mar;43(3):734-44.13 studies investigating the structural effects of substances believed to possess chondroprotective properties were included in this systematic review to determine whether patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) would experience a delay in the progression of the disease. Treatments evaluated in this study included: oral glucosamine, chondroitin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), polyunsaturated fatty acids, S-adenosylmethionine, avocado and soybean unsaponifiable fractions, methylsulfonylmethane, vitamins (C, D, and E), intra-articular hyaluronic acid injections, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The findings indicated that chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine may reduce joint cartilage loss and thus delay the course of osteoarthritis. Results are conflicting for hyaluronic injections, and there is no evidence to support a chondroprotective effect of NSAIDs, vitamin D, or vitamin E.
