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

Relapsing polychondritis is a rare immunologic disorder that can involve all cartilage and proteoglycan-rich tissues. Clinical symptoms of relapsing polychondritis are often associated with recurrent inflammatory manifestations and functional impairment of such tissues. The disease has an insidious onset, and the first symptoms and clinical manifestations vary, making it easy to misdiagnose and miss the diagnosis. Here, we report a case of relapsing polychondritis with multi-systemic disease in a single ear and a single eye. A 44-year-old Chinese man suddenly developed redness, swelling, and pain in the right auricle without any causative factors half a year ago, followed by other multi-systemic symptoms, and he went to an outside hospital several times. He was diagnosed with sinusitis and bronchitis after completing some investigations in a foreign hospital, and his condition did not improve after taking oral medication, so he came to our hospital and was diagnosed with relapsing polychondritis after completing some investigations.
