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

Xanthogranulomatous osteomyelitis (XO) is a rare chronic inflammatory process characterized by the presence of a large number of lipid-containing macrophages with lymphocytes and plasma cells. We present a case of XO of the hip in a 50-year-old woman with pain in the left hip for 28 months. The patient had a history of taking anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy for five months. Laboratory data revealed an increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein (CRP) level. Plain radiographs showed the destruction of the femoral head with arthritis and subluxation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was suggestive of tubercular infection of the left hip and a benign lesion in the left ilium. The histopathologic examination of the specimen demonstrated the presence of dead bone surrounded by lymph-plasma cells, foamy cells, and histocytes, which was consistent with XO, and culture was positive for
