Giant Hip Synovial Cyst Causing Deep Vein Thrombosis and Femoral Head Osteonecrosis in a Rheumatoid Arthritis Patient.
Article in Mediterranean journal of rheumatology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Hip synovial cysts are rare. However, in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) they present in higher frequency than in general population. Herein, we present an unusual case of a 67-year-old man with RA that presented with unilateral leg oedema and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a giant cystic lesion adjacent to the right hip joint with longitudinal diameter of 14 cm. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) confirmed the characteristics of the cyst. Interestingly enough, there was evidence of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. CT guided Fine Needle aspiration (FNA) of the fluid revealed fluid consistency similar to synovial fluid, while it excluded infectious process and malignancy. Patient was finally treated with total hip arthroplasty 3 months after the initiation of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in treatment dose.
