Review in Current rheumatology reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Hand osteoarthritis (OA) is a frequent disease, which may lead to considerable pain and physical limitations. However, limited research has been performed in hand OA. Lately, modern imaging techniques, such as ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have gained increasing attention in hand OA clinical research. Both modalities may provide important knowledge about the natural history and pathogenesis of the disease, in addition to serving as potential outcome measures in clinical trials. In clinical practice, the diagnosis of hand OA should be based on clinical examination and conventional radiography, if necessary. However, US and MRI can provide information about the degree of inflammation and exclude potential differential diagnoses.
