Adult-onset chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis: A case report of a rare entity.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 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
Background: Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is a rare autoimmune disorder causing inflammatory joint lesions. It has an estimated prevalence of 1-2 per million while adult-onset disease constitutes only 6.3% of patients. Case report: We present a case of a 44 years old male who presented to the rheumatology clinic with lower back pain for twelve years. Magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbosacral spine showed ovoid areas of abnormal signal intensities along superior and inferior endplates of multiple vertebrae of the dorsolumbar and sacral spine. Computed tomography guided biopsy of L4 vertebrae was done. Histopathology revealed linear cores of degenerating fibrocartilage focally exhibiting small spicules of mineralized bone and fibro-collagenous tissue. He initially did not respond to traditional therapy. His symptoms improved with the addition of a Janus Kinase inhibitor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis to be reported from Pakistan.
