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

introductionLittle is known about the development of specific acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis. Its histologic alterations are controversial, and radiologic alterations are seen in asymptomatic people. The objective of this study was to evaluate histologically the distal clavicle subchondral bone and to analyze magnetic resonance images in patients with painful and nonpainful acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis.

methodsAn observational, analytical, and cross-sectional study with a control group was conducted. Between August 2018 and June 2019, we analyzed a total of 41 patients. Group 1 consisted of patients with pain in the acromioclavicular joint (symptomatic osteoarthritis), and group 2 consisted of patients without pain in the acromioclavicular joint (asymptomatic osteoarthritis).

resultsTwelve of the 15 patients with acromioclavicular joint pain (group 1) were female, 13 presented distal clavicle edema on magnetic resonance imaging, and 9 had subchondral bone edema on histologic examination. Patients with acromioclavicular joint pain had longer shoulder pain duration than patients without pain. Women were more likely to have acromioclavicular joint pain compared with men. Patients with edema on magnetic resonance imaging showed a greater chance of presenting pain in the acromioclavicular joint in comparison with patients without edema.

conclusionWomen had a higher chance of presenting with acromioclavicular joint pain than men. Patients with edema on magnetic resonance imaging were more likely to present with pain than patients without edema. Patients with acromioclavicular joint pain had longer shoulder pain duration than patients without pain, and subchondral bone edema on histologic examination was more frequent in patients with pain.
