Blau syndrome: a rare cause of exuberant granulomatous synovitis of the knee.
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Blau syndrome (BS) is a rare autosomal dominant familial granulomatous inflammatory disease presenting in early childhood with dermatitis, arthritis and uveitis. Early-onset sarcoidosis represents the sporadic form, and both are characterised by mutations in the CARD15/NOD2 gene on chromosome 16. We describe a 38-year-old man with known BS who presented for orthopaedic review following right-sided patellar dislocation. MRI of the injured knee demonstrated diffuse synovitis and prominent fatty tissue resembling lipoma arborescens with evidence of recent patellar dislocation. Synovectomy was performed and confirmed granulomatous synovitis. Knee imaging findings are described for the first time. Combining distinct morphological bone changes with synovitis which resembles lipoma arborescens and histology which includes sarcoidal-type granulomatous synovitis should lead the radiologist and pathologist to consider the diagnosis of BS.
