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

backgroundSynovial chondromatosis is a proliferative disease of the synovium associated with cartilage metaplasia that causes localized joint pain and affects its function. CASE PRESENTATION: A 63-year-old white woman presented with right hip pain, lasting over 10 years. Pelvic radiography showed right hip osteoarthritis and ipsilateral periacetabular opacities. Computed tomography confirmed the diagnosis of hip synovial chondromatosis.

conclusionSynovial chondromatosis is a benign, rare condition that affects the synovial joints and is characterized by the presence of free cartilaginous bodies within the joint capsule. Although the etiology of synovial chondromatosis is not established, it is known that synovial membrane metaplasia leads to the formation and proliferation of cartilaginous nodules. The knee is the most affected joint; however, synovial chondromatosis may occur in the shoulder, elbow, or, rarely, the hip. As we can see in this case, diagnosis can be made using radiography.
