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

The remitting seronegative symmetric synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) syndrome is a rare inflammatory rheumatic disease of older adults, which can also be paraneoplastic. The main symptom is a rapidly progressing symmetric edematous swelling of both hands, sometimes also both feet, accompanied by (teno-)synovitis. Autoimmune serologies (rheumatic factor, antibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptides, antinuclear antibodies) typically remain negative. When a diagnosis of RS3PE is made, age-appropriate screening investigations for malignancies should be carried out. In addition, a comprehensive history should be taken and physical examination should be performed focusing on signs of neoplasia, followed by further investigations if necessary. The RS3PE syndrome typically shows an excellent response to treatment with glucocorticoids. A drug-free remission is frequently achieved but sometimes treatment with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) is necessary.
