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
backgroundThe aim of the study was to investigate psychological distress and health-related quality of life (HrQoL) in patients with bone marrow edema syndrome (BMES) of the hip or knee joint.
methodsThis retrospective study included patients with the diagnosis BMES treated in the period 2016-2017. As well as analyzing the epidemiological data (age, sex, vascular disease, hypertension, etc.), we used the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to document anxiety and depression and the five-level version of the EuroQol Group's EQ-5D instrument (EQ-5D-5L) to assess HrQoL and compared it to historical controls of the healthy population.
resultsThe study group comprised 56 patients (26 females, 30 males) with a mean age of 55.8 (range, 15-84) years. HADS: there was no difference between the study and control cohorts in the rates of anxiety (P=0.595) or depression (P=0.241). EQ-5D-5L: the HrQoL was significantly lower in the patients with BMES than in the healthy controls both for parameters of the EQ-5D-5L index and in the various age groups. No difference in HrQoL was seen between BMES of the hip and the knee or among the different radiological stages of BMES.
conclusionsThe patients with BMES displayed a clear reduction in HrQoL, but this was not associated with psychological distress with regard to significant anxiety and depression. Patients with BMES and a high score for anxiety and depression are at great risk of chronic pain, and we recommend they should receive psychological counseling.
