The Importance of Ultrasound-Guided Synovial Biopsy in the Workup of Seronegative Inflammatory Arthritis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We report a case of a 74-year-old male who presented with typical clinical features of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as well as elevated markers of inflammation. However, the patient did not respond to multiple RA treatments, and an ultrasound-guided synovial biopsy (UGSB) of the right wrist was performed, which established the diagnosis of amyloidosis. A variety of inflammatory conditions sometimes get misdiagnosed as seronegative RA due to similarities in clinical presentation. This case report highlights the importance of a thorough workup in patients who appear to have seronegative RA. Given the wide availability of ultrasound-guided, minimally invasive synovial biopsies, these procedures should be employed more often to detect rare conditions that may mimic seronegative RA, such as amyloidosis.
