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

Background: Osteo-articular Methods: A retrospective clinico-radiological review of nine patients with Results: All the 9 patients (5 male: 4 female) aged between 8 and 50 years of age (mean 15.3 years) developed insidious onset of buttock pain over a period of weeks to months with difficulty in walking. Microbiological and/or histopathological confirmation of Conclusion: Tuberculosis of ischial tuberosity can be a rare cause of gluteal pain. Delay in diagnosis could be due to an indolent natural history, unusual presentation and clinical features. A high index of suspicion especially in endemic areas with complementary imaging and microbiological or histopathological confirmation of
