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

A 55-year-old male patient presented with generalized myofascial complaints. The clinical and laboratory investigations were unremarkable apart from taut skin of the lower extremities and eosinophilia of the blood. Based on the enrichment of the fascias seen in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the detection of inflammatory epifascial infiltrates in the muscle biopsy, the diagnosis of eosinophilic fasciitis was made. Treatment with glucocorticoids, methotrexate and tocilizumab led to a complete clinical and morphological regression of the fasciitis.
