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

Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a rare systemic disease characterized by widespread, progressive fibrosis of the skin and connective tissue. We report a rare case of NSF and metastatic pulmonary calcification coexisting in a patient undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). The patient had received two exposures to gadodiamide 11 weeks prior to admission. Subsequently, he developed skin sclerosis in the lower limbs, which gradually spread to the waist and back, accompanied by limited joint movement in the lower extremities, resulting in an inability to walk. After the patient was ​transitioned​​ to hemodialysis, received low-dose methylprednisolone and intravenous sodium thiosulfate, and underwent infrared radiation therapy, his skin sclerosis and limited joint movement ​​improved significantly, indicating that the treatment was effective.
