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

Infectious tuberculous tenosynovitis (TS) of the extensor tendons of the wrist is an exceptional location of musculoskeletal tuberculosis. We present a case of tuberculous extensor TS in a 52-year-old diabetic male patient presenting as a huge mass on the dorsum of the hand, in the absence of other pulmonary or extrapulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis. This report increases physicians' vigilance when dealing with patients with risk factors of tuberculosis, allowing early diagnosis and optimal treatment.
