Black hip, fracture neck of femur and scoliosis: a case of ochronosis.
Article in Journal of inherited metabolic disease, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundOchronosis is a very rare disorder with an incidence of 2 to 5 per million live births. It is a genetic disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance. It is characterized by dark brown pigmentation of cartilage, capsules of joints and other soft tissues. Ochronosis usually presents as ochronotic arthropathy and spondylosis. PURPOSE: This article describes a very rare presentation of scoliosis and fracture of the neck of the femur in a patient with ochronosis.
methodsA 65-year-old woman with left-sided scoliosis presented to us following a fall with fracture of the neck of the femur on the left side. Radiological examination and biochemical study of urine were consistent with ochronosis. PROCEDURE AND
resultsWe have treated the patient by excision arthroplasty.
conclusionWe report a case of scoliosis, fracture of the neck of the femur and ochronosis occurring together in a patient.
