Observational study and brief analysis of diagnostic criteria in relapsing polychondritis.
Observational study in Rheumatology international, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Observational study of patients with relapsing polychondritis (RPC) and brief evaluation of widely used diagnostic criteria. A retrospective analysis of 18 patients with RPC treated in the past 15 years at the Charté-Universitätsmedizin Berlin was performed. Three different diagnostic criteria were applied to our cohort. Sensitivities of diagnostic criteria of McAdam et al., Damiani and Levine and Michet et al. were calculated as well as the 5- and 10-year survival. Analysis of diagnostic criteria revealed a sensitivity of 88.9% using Damiani and Levine criteria, 66.7% for Michet et al. and 50% for McAdam et al., respectively. Modifying the criteria of Michet et al. increases the sensitivity to 88.9%. The 5- and 10-year survival were 100 and 90.9%, respectively. Current diagnostic criteria in RPC should be reappraised covering the diversity of clinical findings with the aim to improve clinical care and research in RPC.
