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

A 37-year-old man developed right ankle pain and swelling six days after being diagnosed with coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Despite conservative treatment, his ankle symptoms persisted. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography showed synovial hypertrophy and bone erosion in the ankle. Following arthroscopic synovectomy, performed 69 days after the COVID-19 diagnosis, the pain improved significantly. The clinical course was consistent with that of reactive arthritis following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. The pathological findings resembled rheumatoid nodules. The bone erosion may have originated from the inflammatory pathway, which resembles the mechanism of rheumatoid arthritis.
