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.

Abstract

Background Although tenosynovitis in the hands is associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), it is unknown whether tenosynovitis of the forefoot is associated with RA. Purpose To determine the anatomy of tendon sheaths of the forefoot and the relationship between MRI-detected tenosynovitis at metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints and RA. Materials and Methods Fourteen forefeet of donated bodies were examined at flexor tendons and extensor tendons for the presence and course of tendon sheaths. In the prospective study between June 2013 and March 2016, newly presenting patients with RA, patients with other early arthritides, and healthy control participants all underwent MRI of unilateral MTP joints 1-5. MRI studies were scored by two independent readers for tenosynovitis, synovitis, and bone marrow edema. The association between the presence of these features and RA was examined by using logistic regression. Results Macroscopically, all extensor and flexor tendons crossing MTP joints demonstrated sheaths surrounding tendons. Microscopically, a synovial sheath was present. MRI evaluation was performed in 634 participants: 157 newly presenting patients with RA (109 women; mean age, 59 years ± 11 [standard deviation]), 284 patients with other early arthritides (158 women; mean age, 56 years ± 17), and 193 healthy control participants (136 women; mean age, 50 years ± 16). MRI-detected tenosynovitis was associated with RA, both when compared with patients with other arthritides (odds ratio [OR], 2.5; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.7, 3.9;
