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

Sinonasal hemangiopericytoma-like tumors(SNHPC)(glomangiopericytomas)were originally conceived as histologically similar to, but biologically distinct from, their soft tissue counterparts. Re-evaluation of "hemangiopericytiomas" has determined that SNHPC (glomangiopericytomas) represent bona-fide pericyte-derived tumors, whereas most soft tissue neoplasms previously designated as hemangiopericytomas represent cellular variants of solitary fibrous tumors or other lesions with a hemangiopericytomalike growth pattern. We present an interesting case of a woman with SNHPC (glomangiopericytomas) causing oncogenic osteomalacia, and discuss the recent advances in our understanding of phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors. This particular case is an example of "Striking Pathology Gold"-a situation where the pathologist actively guides the diagnostic process, and witnesses its repercussions. "Striking Pathology Gold" may be a rare event in one's career. However it serves to remind us of our place in the world as physicians. Working behind the scenes, we quietly change the course of countless individual destinies for the better.
