Aseptic Abscess Syndrome in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patient.
Article in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
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
Aseptic abscess syndrome (AAS) is a rare, potentially life-threatening disorder, with numerous features of neutrophilic dermatoses. The main symptoms include aseptic abscess-like collections in internal organs (spleen, liver, lungs), lack of microbes (bacteria, viruses, or parasites) after an exhaustive search, ineffectiveness of antibiotics, and high sensitivity to corticosteroid therapy. AAS is characterized by the development of deep, inflammatory abscesses and systemic symptoms (weight loss, abdominal pain, fever, and leukocytosis). They may be associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and autoimmune diseases. The patient in this study is a 67-year-old man, suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA), with numerous purulent abscesses in the mediastinum, within the subcutaneous tissue above the extension surfaces of the joints, and on the dorsum of the hands. The lesions are accompanied by bone destruction. The patient was treated with prednisone 40 mg and adalimumab, which resulted in a quick reduction of inflammatory markers and clinical improvement, as well as the healing and absorption of abscesses. Despite COVID-19 infection, treatment with remdesivir, prednisone, and adalimumab was continued, with the complete resolution of the lesions. AAS is difficult to recognize, so practitioners have to be aware of this condition, especially in patients with RA.
