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

A 51-year-old lady with a background of rheumatoid arthritis presented to the foot and ankle clinic with pain and a typical history of Morton's neuroma. Examination revealed a palpable swelling over the right foot in the third intermetatarsal space. Following failed conservative management, the patient underwent excision of the neuroma. Histology revealed of necrotizing granulomas with peripheral palisading and no evidence of features specific to a neuroma. This has rarely been described previously and supports the concept of rheumatoid synovitis and nodules producing symptoms mimicking Morton's neuroma/metatarsalgia.
