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

Isolated monarthritis caused by Tropheryma whipplei without involvement of the gastrointestinal tract is rare but is nowadays often described as an early manifestation of the disease. In a male patient with recurrent knee joint arthritis for several years, we could ultimately diagnose Whipple's disease based on PCR positive biopsies of synovial tissue and fluid. Furthermore, the patient was found to be an asymptomatic T. whipplei carrier. With adequate antibiotic therapy the patient has meanwhile fully recovered.
