Clinical, evolution and therapeutical considerations upon a case of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP).
Article in Journal of medicine and life, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an autosomal dominant genetic transmitted disease, with a rare incidence (1-2 cases/million persons) and it usually affects female patients. Its manifestations include acute pain episodes that tend to repeat, involving the soft tissue and the axial muscles with later appearance of ectopic bone tissue in ligaments, joints and tendons. In the great majority of times, the skeletal modifications are observed at birth but the first clinical symptoms occur at 2-4 years old. The clinical symptoms include pain and inflammation of the soft tissue, sometimes associated with fever and cutaneous erythema, joint symptoms--pain, stiffness most frequently concerning the scapular and pelvic girdle, bone malformations--short hallux, microdactilia, kyphoscoliosis, thorax malformations. The diagnosis is established based on the clinical symptoms and the imagistic investigations: CT, MRI - which indicate the joint modification and the ectopic bone tissue. Muscular biopsy is not indicated as it leads to new lesions in the already traumatized areas.
