1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Evaluation of MRI-findings in patients with involvement of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in small joints in hands and feet. Twenty-five patients with symptomatic joint involvement were studied by MRI. All patients were found to be positive for one or more imaging criteria. Soft tissue oedema was identified in 22/25 (88%) patients. Joint effusion was observed in 23/25 (92%) patients, whereas bone erosion was seen in 20/25 (80%) patients. Bone marrow oedema was evident in 21/25 (84%) cases. In 12/25 (48%) cases, bone proliferation was noted. Tendon sheath effusion was present in 17/25 (68%) patients. Contrast enhancement of the synovia was detected in all patients (n = 25) (100%), whereas adjacent periost was enhanced in 22/25 (88%) and epiphysial bone marrow in 18/25 (72%) patients. MRI allows the assessment of PsA-alterations of soft tissue, cartilage, bone, bone marrow, and adjacent tendon sheath in patients with hand and foot involvement.
