[NSAIDs and COX-2-inhibitors: current status].
Article in Der Internist, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
NSAIDs (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are a crucial component for the therapy of pain induced by inflammatory and degenerative joint diseases. Nevertheless their known therapeutic efficacy is contrasted by significant side effects. The recently developed selective COX-2-inhibitors appear to have a better gastrointestinal safety profile, especially relevant to patients with an increased risk for gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding. However, this effect may similarly be reached by the combination of NSAIDs with proton pump inhibitors. Recent data relate to an elevated myocardial infarction rate in patients using COX-2-inhibitors. This risk may also occur in conventional NSAIDs. Therefore an individual risk calculation is necessary before COX-2-inhibitors or NSAIDs are used. Treatment should be performed with the lowest dosage for the shortest time possible. Combination therapy with salicylic acid seems to abolish the protective effect of COX-2-inhibitors in the GI-tract. Definite risk factors for the treatment with NSAIDs and COX-2-inhibitors have to be defined in further studies providing the best treatment schedule for an individual patient.
