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

Background: Chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is a rare autoinflammatory disease characterized by bone pain and sterile bone inflammation. Objectives: This study aimed at describing clinical presentation, laboratory and imaging features, densitometric assessment, and therapeutic approaches in a monocentric CNO cohort. Design: Monocentric retrospective cohort study. Methods: Patients were included in the Chronic non-bActerial osteoMyELitis: A mOnocentric regisTry (CAMELOT) in case of (i) clinical diagnosis of CNO, (ii) the fulfilment of diagnostic/classification criteria, (iii) at least one medical visit at our institution between June 2004 and June 2024, and (iv) a follow-up of at least 3 months. Results: Fifty-one patients were included in the CAMELOT (mean age at onset 11.14 years, 68.6% females). A total of 39.2% of patients presented an autoimmune comorbidity. Bone pain was invariably present; joint involvement was demonstrated in 9.6% of patients. Most subjects (86.3%) had multifocal disease: the median number of bony lesions per patient was 4. Lumbar spine dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was performed in 14 patients (27.4%), showing a reduced bone mineral density (BMD) (-1.14 ± 1.21 Conclusion: The high prevalence of VF observed in the CAMELOT cohort highlights the importance of enlisting CNO in the diagnostic approach to pediatric patients presenting with VF.
