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

introductionThe remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema syndrome primarily occurs in elderly individuals to represent symptoms of edema, pain, and joint swelling. It could be misdiagnosed in elderly maintenance hemodialysis patients, as hemodialysis patients often present with pain and joint swelling induced by hypervolemia, inflammation, amyloidosis, and/or chronic kidney disease. Here, we describe a maintenance hemodialysis patient with remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema syndrome. CASE PRESENTATION: A 71-year-old man on maintenance hemodialysis who complained of continuous pain and swelling of joints was diagnosed with remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema syndrome on his clinical findings that revealed tenosynovitis at the joint without joint erosions and no elevation of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody and rheumatoid factor. After administration of prednisolone, systemic edema, and pain improved in 2 days.

conclusionRemitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema syndrome should be considered as a differential diagnosis in hemodialysis patients with edema and/or arthralgia.
