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

Herein, we report a case of focal periphyseal edema in a 12-year-old female tennis player. The onset of chronic knee pain in adolescents has differential diagnoses, including fatigue fracture, epiphysis (Osgood-Schlatter disease), growth plate injury, Brodie abscess, patella-femoral malalignment, neoplasia, and meniscus tears. In this case, magnetic resonance imaging revealed focal bone marrow edema around the center of the epiphyseal plate of the distal femur. Three months later, the patient experienced residual knee pain, with no improvement visible on re-imaging. However, symptoms of the patient resolved, and the bone marrow edema disappeared 10 months after the initial visit. This is the first report to follow both clinical symptoms and the concurrent magnetic resonance imaging findings during the period from onset to cure in a patient with focal periphyseal edema of the knee.
