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

Hydroxyapatite crystal deposition disease and its pathophysiology are poorly understood; however, it is known that calcific tendinitis is the most common condition related to this deposition in the upper limb. Movement of the crystals toward the myotendinous junction is rare; to the best of our knowledge, only 19 cases have been described in the literature, one of which was a case of intramuscular deposition without migration. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the technical details of the arthroscopic treatment of intramuscular calcium hydroxyapatite deposits without intratendinous migration.
