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

A previously healthy five-year-old boy was seen in the rheumatology clinic with a five-month history of migrating joint discomfort, followed by right knee and left ankle arthritis. He showed no signs of lymphadenopathy, organomegaly, rashes, or fever. He could not bear weight and had nocturnal pain that was out of proportion to juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Blood tests revealed no pancytopenia. Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging showed extensive enhancement in nearly all bones, suggestive of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis. However, bone biopsy followed by marrow aspiration confirmed a diagnosis of pre-B-cell leukemia. This case highlights the importance of considering the possibility of childhood malignancies mimicking juvenile idiopathic arthritis and chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis, even in the absence of typical neoplasm symptoms.
