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

Radiosynoviorthesis is a minimally invasive treatment for inflammatory joint disorders. It is an alternative to surgical synovectomy and is used when systemic treatment and intraarticular glucocorticosteroid injections have failed. This literature review summarizes the effectiveness of this method in various inflammatory joint disorders. A systematic literature search was performed in the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and DOAJ databases. Depending on the type of inflammation and level of joint destruction, the effectiveness of therapy is 50-80%, up to even 90-100% in hemarthrosis. The present study demonstrates that the therapy is safe, with almost no side-effects. It provides long-term cost-effectiveness for patients due to its ambulatory characteristics, does not require rehabilitation, and leads to reduced use of other therapies. Moreover, it may be used as an independent type of therapy as well as a part of complex treatment. Given its benefits, the method should be considered by specialists of various fields.
