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

introductionAchenbach syndrome is a rare, benign condition characterized by painful discoloration of a finger. Recognition of this syndrome prevents unnecessary costly workup and risky interventions. CASE REPORT: A healthy, 54-year-old female was transferred to our emergency department (ED) from a community ED for vascular evaluation of discoloration and numbness to her finger. After extensive workup, medical intervention, and consultation with multiple specialists, she was diagnosed with Achenbach syndrome.

conclusionEmergency physicians may practice good healthcare stewardship and limit invasive, potentially harmful, and expensive workup by reassuring patients of the benign nature of this condition.
