C1-C2 spondylodiscitis in an adult with SAPHO syndrome: an unusual presentation.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The main advantage of recognition and diagnosis of SAPHO syndrome is the avoidance of unnecessary prolonged antibiotic treatment and repeated invasive procedures. The combination of synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and aseptic osteitis is known as SAPHO syndrome. The most common site of the disease is the upper anterior chest wall, characterized by predominantly osteosclerotic lesions, hyperostosis, and arthritis of the adjacent joints. Osteosclerosis of the vertebral bodies, hyperostosis, and erosions of the vertebral plates are rarely encountered. We present a case of SAPHO syndrome with C1-C2 spondylodiscitis. Diagnosis of SAPHO syndrome was established using Khan et al. criteria (Schilling, SAPHO syndrome, Encyclopedie Orphanet, 2004). CT showed osteosclerotic lesions of dens axis. MRI sequences reveal inflammatory bone marrow oedema. Radiologists should be aware of this unusual syndrome to avoid misdiagnosis (tumour/infection), unnecessary surgery, and antibiotic therapy.
