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

Calcific periarthritis is a benign but painful inflammatory process associated with periarticular deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite. It most commonly affects the rotator cuff tendons in the shoulder. Ultrasound-guided barbotage is a safe procedure with a high success rate in treating calcific tendonitis of the shoulder. Calcific periarthritis of the hand is a relatively rare entity. We report a case of a woman with calcific periarthritis in the hand, highlighting its successful management with ultrasound-guided barbotage. This case adds to the few case reports showing the efficacy of barbotage in atypical locations.
