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

Coronavirus disease 2019 is known to cause severe acute respiratory syndrome, and serious cases need to be treated with corticosteroids. Herein, we report an 87-year-old woman who developed bilateral osteonecrosis of the femoral head after corticosteroid treatment for coronavirus disease 2019-related pneumonia. Sixteen months after treatment, she developed right hip pain without any evidence of trauma. A diagnosis of bilateral osteonecrosis of the femoral head was made based on sclerotic bands on plain radiographs and low-signal bands on T1-weighted magnetic resonance images. The patient underwent right total hip arthroplasty 4 months after symptom onset. Histological examination of the resected femoral head revealed pathological evidence of osteonecrosis. The postoperative course was good, and the patient can now walk unassisted. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of histologically proven osteonecrosis after corticosteroid therapy for coronavirus disease 2019-related disease.
