Characteristics and outcomes of chronic non-bacterial osteitis in children.
Article in European journal of rheumatology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo determine patient characteristics, clinical presentation, pattern of involvement, treatment, and outcome of patients with chronic non-bacterial osteitis (CNO). MATERIAL AND
methodsConsecutive cases of CNO were analyzed at a single center for pediatrics and adolescent medicine from 2006 to 2013 in terms of patient characteristics, clinical presentation, pattern of involvement, treatment, and outcome.
resultsWe identified 32 children aged 1.5-15 years who were diagnosed with CNO between 2006 and 2013. A maximum of 12 bones per patient were affected in a total of 114 documented locations. The pelvis and clavicle (affecting 34% of patients each) were the most frequently affected bones. The foot skeleton was the most commonly affected region in 60% of patients. Skin manifestations were found in 7 (21%) patient. Increased inflammatory signs at presentation were detected in 18 patients. Pathological findings were found in all 30 children examined using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in 10 of 11 children examined using radiography, and in 8 of 10 patients examined using skeletal scintigraphy. Bone biopsy was performed in 9 patients. For initial treatment, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or coxibs were used in 28 (87.5%) patients. Remission or satisfactory follow-up was achieved in all patients.
conclusionToday, CNO is increasingly diagnosed using MRI and rarely through histological examinations. Therapeutic strategies include NSAIDs, which are often highly effective. All patients in the present study showed good clinical outcomes.
