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

Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare disease characterized by recurrent systemic inflammation affecting cartilaginous tissues and proteoglycan-rich tissues. The disease may present in several clinical variants, which can delay diagnosis. Corticosteroids are the treatment of choice for RP. In rare cases, RP can be paraneoplastic. The association of RP with thyroid cancer is unusual. We report the first Malagasy case of a 48-year-old man with RP type one diagnosed within less than a year, presenting with recurrent chondritis of the auricular cartilage, tracheobronchial chondritis, and recurrent episcleritis. The disease was associated with papillary thyroid carcinoma.
