Talus insufficiency fracture due to long-term methotrexate therapy in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis.

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.
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
Insufficiency fractures are a well-known complication in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases, but can also be caused by long-term methotrexate (MTX) therapy. We report on a 72-year-old female patient with rheumatoid arthritis and more than 10 years of MTX treatment who was diagnosed with an insufficiency fracture of the trochlea tali without previous trauma. After discontinuation of MTX therapy and initiation of osteoanabolic treatment, there was a distinct clinical improvement with prompt fracture healing. The case underlines the importance of early MRI diagnosis and treatment adjustment in cases of suspected MTX osteopathy to avoid missing or protracted fracture healing and to minimize the risk of further fractures.
