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

Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) syndrome is characterized by bilateral synovitis and marked pitting edema of the hands and/or feet. Despite the unknown etiology of RS3PE, several reports have described the putative association of this disease with malignant tumors. We herein report the findings of a 76-year-old man with RS3PE syndrome who developed hepatocellular carcinoma 3 years after achieving clinical remission of RS3PE using corticosteroid treatment; high vascular endothelial growth factor and tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels were considered to have contributed to carcinogenesis in this patient. The sequence of clinical events in this case strongly suggests that careful follow-up, even after clinical remission, is necessary for patients with RS3PE syndrome whose malignancy is not confirmed at diagnosis.
