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

The synovial membrane is a site where many diseases with different etiologies can become manifest. Tumors and storage diseases are some of the rare conditions, whereas crystal deposition diseases, acute bacterial infections and in particular chronic uncharacteristic synovitis are frequently encountered. The latter present a diagnostic problem, because they can barely be assigned to concrete diagnoses. This report will give an overview of the differential diagnosis of joint diseases and will focus on the so-called synovitis score as a tool for the systematic evaluation of chronic uncharacteristic synovitis, providing a possibility to differentiate between degenerative and rheumatic synovitis with a specificity of 60.5% and a sensitivity of 95.5%.
