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

Quadricuspid aortic valve is a very rare congenital anomaly. Its association with rheumatoid arthritis is exceptional with this being the third case reported in the literature. We report a case of a 52 year old female patient with quadricuspid aortic valve type C accompanied by moderate to severe aortic regurgitation and longstanding, advanced form of rheumatoid arthritis. Having refused surgical aortic valve intervention 4 years ago, the patient is currently under a watchful follow-up strategy. The patient received a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis over 15 years before and presently has serious deformities in the hands, legs, feet, and spine. In conclusion, quadricuspid aortic valve and rheumatoid arthritis together are extremely rare. While it is possible that this association is coincidental, considering the genetic background of both disorders, there is a potential for them to be interconnected comorbidities. This report is the first to highlight the association between the 2 disorders.
