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

Rice body formation is a rare response to chronic inflammation of the synovial membrane. It is most commonly associated with rheumatoid arthritis and tuberculosis. Recently, there have been reports of rice bodies caused by non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection. We describe a case of rice body formation in a 69-year-old man who presented with pain and swelling in his third finger for six months after being punctured by a wire 1 year ago. He had no other notable recent medical history. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a large amount of fluid collection with diffuse thickening and enhancement of the synovium and rice bodies along the flexor tendon of the third finger. During surgery, multiple granular white rice bodies were found from the third carpal bone to the distal phalanx.
