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

caseA 43-year-old man with a history of previously treated Lyme arthritis presented with persistent right knee pain for 2 years. Imaging demonstrated synovitis and large subchondral cystic lesions in the proximal tibia and distal femur, suggestive of postinfectious Lyme arthritis (PILA). He underwent right knee arthroscopic synovectomy and transosseous endoscopic bone grafting. Notable improvements in knee pain and range of motion were observed at 1 year postoperatively.

conclusionTransosseous endoscopic bone grafting of subchondral bone cysts can improve symptoms and restore periarticular bone stock without compromising intact cartilage at the time of arthroscopic synovectomy for PILA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: V Case Report.
