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

Recognizing the mechanical origin of enthesitis/enthesopathy and the avulsion-nature of what had previously been considered erosions, it seems inappropriate to attribute it to stresses related to a person's normal activities. Conversely, sudden or unconditioned repetitive stresses appears the more likely culprit. Studies of enthesial reaction have lacked standardization as to findings present among individuals who appear to be healthy. Clinical evaluation by palpation and manipulation may be as effective as application of radiologic techniques. Recognition of the mechanical nature of the disease, including individuals with inflammatory arthritis suggests prescription of mechanical solutions that reduce stresses across the involved enthesis.
