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

Inflammatory bowel disease can profoundly affect the joints and tendons of the hand. We present here the first published case of an atraumatic rupture of the A3 pulley of the right second digit in a 27-year-old woman with ulcerative colitis. The patient presented with pain and functional compromise of the second digit as well as a 90° flexion contracture at the proximal interphalangeal joint. Imaging revealed rupture of the A3 pulley and bowstringing of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon despite no history of hand or finger trauma. Multidisciplinary conservative management and adjustment of antirheumatic medication resulted in partial resolution of the flexion contracture and return of pain-free function.
