A 2025 network meta-analysis restricted to LARGE randomized trials (57 RCTs, 22,795 participants, 18 intra-articular interventions) found treatment effects were larger in the 35 high-risk-of-bias trials than in the 22 low/unclear-risk trials; excluding high-risk trials, triamcinolone had the highest probability of exceeding the minimal important difference at weeks 2 and 6, while hyaluronic acid had no effect on pain (SMD -0.04, 95% CrI -0.19 to 0.11) and higher odds of dropouts due to adverse events (OR 2.01) and serious adverse events (OR 1.86) than placebo.
