CRD SUMMARY:

The review concluded that chondroitin sulphate was effective for slowing the rate of decline in minimum joint space width in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. The authors' conclusions appeared appropriate. However, due to potential for bias and errors during the process these must be treated with some caution.
