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

Background Although nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) affects the use of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) in MRI, there continues to be limited knowledge because of the small number of patients with NSF. Purpose To perform a systematic review of NSF. Materials and Methods PubMed database was searched by using the term "Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis" from January 2000 to February 2019. Articles reporting details on individual patients with NSF diagnosis on the basis of both clinical presentations and biopsy confirmation were included. Data were pooled and authors were contacted for clarifications. Rates of NSF were compared through 2008 versus after 2008 and for group I versus group II GBCAs, assuming equal market share. Results Included were 639 patients from 173 articles. Data regarding sex were found for 295 men and 254 women. Age at NSF symptom onset was reported for 177 patients (mean, 49 years ± 16 [standard deviation]; age range, 6-87 years). There were 529 patients with documented exposure to GBCAs including gadodiamide (
