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

Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting oedema is a rare rheumatological condition, predominating in the elderly male. It is characterised by the abrupt onset of marked pitting oedema, symmetrical distal synovitis, absence of rheumatoid factor and an excellent response to glucocorticoids. RS3PE may be the harbinger of a malignancy so the diagnosis should prompt evaluation and exclusion of such condition; in these cases, the response to glucocorticoids is only partial and treating the neoplasia is essential. The differential diagnosis includes late-onset rheumatoid arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica and calcium pyrophosphate crystal-related arthritis. We present the case of a patient with remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting oedema associated with clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
