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

The rheumatic diseases, which include systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Behçet's disease, scleroderma, and ankylosing spondylitis, are characterized by involvement of connective tissue, with multiple manifestations. In those diseases, there can be involvement of the peripheral or central nervous system, and that involvement can be primary, presenting as a major feature of the clinical presentation, or secondary, as an effect of the drugs used in order to control a given disease or its complications. Knowledge of the wide variety of imaging findings is crucial to the diagnosis of a rheumatic disease, especially in the early stages, enabling effective treatment and minimizing disability. This pictorial essay, presenting cases from the records of two tertiary teaching hospitals, encompasses cases of patients diagnosed with rheumatic disease and illustrates the neuroradiological findings on magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography, in order to emphasize the importance of these methods for properly diagnosing rheumatic diseases.
