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

rationaleNail-patella syndrome (NPS), a rare genetic disorder with multisystemic implications that affects the kidneys, joints, bones, and nails, exhibits significant phenotypic heterogeneity, leading to diverse clinical presentations and prompting patients to seek medical attention. This report details the case of a male patient presenting with inflammatory back pain, whose subsequent diagnostic evaluations revealed skeletal anomalies consistent with NPS. PATIENT CONCERNS: A male patient in his mid-thirties was diagnosed with inflammatory back pain associated with NPS. DIAGNOSES: The patient presented with hypoplastic nails, malformation of elbow joints, and dysplastic patellae. Computed tomography revealed an iliac angle deformity, which is a cardinal feature of NPS. The diagnostic criteria for NPS were based on clinical manifestations and computed tomography results.

interventionsThe patient was prescribed celecoxib (0.2 grams orally once daily) for 1 week, along with physical therapy exercises. OUTCOMES: During the 3-month follow-up period, gradual improvement in the patient's low back pain was observed. LESSONS: This case underscores the importance of considering NPS in the differential diagnosis of inflammatory back pain.
