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

Grip myotonia can be a clue for the diagnosis of myotonic disorders. However, several clinical conditions cause delayed finger opening mimicking grip myotonia. We herein report a 44-year-old man with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy who presented with delayed finger opening resembling grip myotonia. The delayed finger opening differed from grip myotonia given the absence of the warm-up phenomenon and percussion myotonia, relative sparing of the thumb extension, and pronounced weakness of the extensor digitorum. Focusing on the extension of the thumb and other fingers may aid in the differentiation between delayed finger opening and true grip myotonia.
