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

objectivesThis study examines plasma interleukin 33 (IL-33) levels in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and explores the possible use of IL-33 as a marker for early diagnosis and progression of ONFH.

methodsOne hundred twenty-five ONFH patients and 126 control subjects were recruited for this study. The plasma IL-33 levels were measured using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. Effects of disease stage and risk factors on IL-33 level were also assessed.

resultsPlasma IL-33 levels were significantly higher in the 125 ONFH patients (174.33 [SD, 65.73] pg/mL) than in the 126 control subjects (90.50 [SD, 25.17] pg/mL, P < 0.001). Plasma IL-33 levels were significantly higher in patients with stage III/IV ONFH (184.17 [SD, 43.75] pg/mL) than in patients with stage I/II ONFH (158.24 [SD, 50.11] pg/mL, P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in IL-33 levels between alcohol-induced, idiopathic, and steroid-induced cases.

conclusionsPlasma IL-33 may be an alarmin for ONFH, and its levels may be related to disease progression.
