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

Bone marrow is a highly cellular tissue undergoing significant developmental and physiologic changes with age. Indeed, with maturation from pediatric to the adult age there is a progressive, centrifugal conversion from red to yellow bone marrow. Histological characteristics of bone marrow are reflected in MR image signal. MR is therefore extremely sensitive in detecting pathological changes which are mostly characterized by increased free water causing high signal intensity on T2. Among the numerous diseases causing bone marrow edema in children chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) certainly has to be mentioned. This idiopathic inflammatory disorder is characterized by nonspecific migrating symptoms like skeletal pain with phases of exacerbations and relapses with alternating acute and chronic MR signs and it is often a diagnosis of exclusion. Hence, with bone marrow edema, various features at imaging should be considered to differentiate malignancies such as osseous lymphoma, osteosarcoma, and Ewing's sarcoma as well as benign lesions like osteomyelitis, post-traumatic, or post-treatment bone marrow edema. The aim of this review is to recall the main characteristics of CNO and provide an overview of its main mimickers highlighting similarities and differences.
