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

SAPHO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis) syndrome is a rare, chronic autoinflammatory disorder that can present with a constellation of cutaneous and osteoarticular symptoms. Osteodestructive lesions are not pathognomonic, whereas hyperostosis and osteitis are the most prominent imaging findings. We report the case of a man with osteolytic changes of the lumbar vertebra and a history of palmoplantar pustulosis. Biopsy revealed no neoplasm, suggesting SAPHO syndrome. Our case demonstrates that knowledge of atypical radiologic findings is necessary for the diagnosis of SAPHO syndrome.
