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

Trochanteric bursitis is a common cause of lateral hip pain, particularly among elderly and postmenopausal females, but abscess formation within the trochanteric bursa is exceedingly rare. We report an unusual extra-acetabular trochanteric abscess identified during cadaveric dissection of an elderly female, characterized by irregular fibrotic and proteinaceous tissue with multiple inclusion bodies but no evidence of malignancy or granulomatous inflammation. Although limited by an absent clinical history, the gross and histopathologic findings suggest a chronic inflammatory or degenerative process consistent with synovial osteochondromatosis of the trochanteric bursa.
