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

Avascular necrosis (AVN) is a pathologic process involving death of bony tissue resulting from loss of blood supply from various causes. Various traumatic and nontraumatic causes of AVN are known, including systemic autoimmune diseases. AVN has been well described in patients with autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, but in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients, there have been limited case reports and case series. There have only been three case reports of AVN in multiple anatomic sites (multifocal AVN) reported in SSc patients in the literature. We present a case of multifocal AVN in an SSc patient and a review of literature on the previously reported cases of SSc-related AVN in terms of demographics, clinical presentation, and management. To our knowledge, this is the only literature review of reported AVN cases in SSc patients.
