ReviewDer Orthopade2009
[Crystal arthropathies].
Review in Der Orthopade, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Basic calcium phosphate (BCP) and calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals are the most common types of pathologic crystals, followed by monosodium urate crystals and, in rare cases, calcium oxalate crystals. These crystals have been associated with a variety of quite different rheumatic syndromes. They are responsible for acute synovial inflammation and also contribute to cartilage degradation and bone lesions within the joint. Although understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in generating the pathologic effects of these crystals has increased, the role of BCP crystals in particular remains poorly understood. The clinical implication of articular deposits of calcium-containing crystals in osteoarthritis is unknown. This review provides an overview of the clinical and pathological changes of these four different types of crystals.
