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

objectiveThe aim of the present study was to illustrate the (potential) diagnostic role of high resolution US images in assessing the elementary lesions of dactylitis.

methodsUsing high-frequency US machines/probes, we matched the micro-anatomical cadaveric architecture of the digit with multiple sonographic findings of dactylitis. High-sensitive color/power Doppler assessments have also been performed to evaluate the digital microvasculature. DISCUSSION: Modern US equipment/features guarantee prompt and in-depth B-mode and color/power Doppler imaging of tiny anatomical structures of the digit which are usually not properly visible with standard US machines. More specifically, hypervascularization of the digital subcutaneous tissue, fibrous pulleys of flexor tendons, dorsal synovial pads as well as pathological changes of the distal entheseal anchorage network can be accurately detected.

conclusionIn clinical practice, high-end US equipment can be used to accurately assess the digits in patients with dactylitis. This way, simple and convenient sonographic diagnosis of different elementary lesions can be timely established.
