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

Ultrasound (US) can visualize the periosteal changes in the early stage compared to radiography. In this review, we studied periosteal manifestations on US and assessed their diagnostic utility for osteomyelitis (OM) and arthritis. We included articles that studied ultrasonographic findings of periosteal changes in OM and arthropathies with aims to systematically review periosteal manifestations of each condition and summarize diagnostic values of each finding. A total of 13 articles were included in the systematic review. Of these, 10 articles are on OM, 3 articles are on psoriatic arthritis (PsA), 1 article is on rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and 1 article is on gouty arthritis (GA). In OM, subperiosteal fluid/subperiosteal collection (SF/SC) was detected in 32%-76% within 72 h after presentation. Periosteal reaction (PR) was seen after day 4 and the sensitivity on US ranges from 33% to 100%. In PsA, PR was seen near 16%-59% in active PsA joints. Periosteal changes are rarely detected in RA joints. Small hyperechoic spots were seen in 87.5% of GA. SF/SC may be seen on US as the earliest sign followed by PR for OM. PR is more specific in PsA than RA. Further investigations on periosteal abnormalities on US are warranted to confirm our findings.
