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

Pagetoid osteosarcoma is a complication of Paget's disease of bone. Sarcomatous transformation is most often seen in severe, long-standing Paget's disease. Familial clustering of Paget's disease has been described with apparent autosomal dominant inheritance with high penetrance by the sixth decade. Although definitive proof of the specific gene involved remains elusive, some researchers have shown loss of heterozygosity in a region of chromosome 18q in a relatively high percentage of studied patients affected with either Paget's disease alone, in Pagetoid osteosarcoma, and in uncomplicated osteosarcoma. Our patient was diagnosed with Pagetoid osteosarcoma and had a first-degree relative with history of the same. We hypothesized that our patient's tumor samples might contain a similar genetic abnormality. Our analysis of several polymorphic markers from the chromosome 18q21-22 region showed loss of maternally inherited alleles throughout the region. This finding is similar to those described previously and provides further evidence of a susceptibility region relating to this disease. This report describes a father and son, their young ages at diagnosis of Pagetoid sarcoma, the identical sites of disease involvement, and a loss of heterozygosity study illustrating the inheritance of the presumed defective gene.
