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

Alkaptonuria or Ochronosis is an autosomal recessive congenital metabolic error due to absence of enzyme homogentisic acid oxidase. Recently, we had an opportunity to diagnose this condition in one of our patients. An old aged man developed a pathological fracture of femur after a trivial fall at home. He was diagnosed to have intracapsular fracture neck of femur. Intraoperatively we noticed blackish discoloration of femoral head which lead us to investigate the case for alkaptonuria. Hemiarthroplasty was done with Austin moore prosthesis. Patient had cutaneous pigmentation and gross arthritic changes at multiple joints including spine. After one and half year patient developed a periprosthetic fracture of the femur for which open reduction and internal fixation was done. A periprosthetic fracture in ochronotic patient has never been reported till date which makes it a rarer entity. This article presents the clinico-radiologic manifestations of the case with surgical management and a follow up of two years.
