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

Relapsing polychondritis (RP) and familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) are systemic inflammatory disorders with seemingly distinct genetic and pathophysiologic mechanisms. An association between these disorders has been described based on a single case report with few clinical details available. We recently encountered a patient with biopsy-proven RP and genetically confirmed FMF. Following identification of this individual, we conducted a retrospective review of all cases of RP in our institution from 2000-2009 and identified one additional patient with RP who is also a genetic heterozygote for FMF. These cases highlight the previously reported but sparsely documented relationship between these seemingly separate disorders.
