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

introductionNeurofibromatosis type 1 is a genetic disease characterized by neoplastic and non neoplastic disorders involving tissues of neuroectodermal and mesenchymal origin. Herein, we present a case with von Recklinghausen's disease, right adrenal heochromocytoma and multiple gastrointestinal stromal tumors. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A forty-eight year old male patient was admitted to our Emergency Department with melena. His physical examination revealed multiple neurofibromas all over the skin, kyphosis, multiple cafe au lait spots and Lisch nodules on the eye and, melena on digital rectal examination. Abdominal computerized tomography scan showed a mass on right adrenal gland and multiple soft tissue mass lesions between distal part of pancreas and small bowel. Adrenal mass was determined as a pheochromocytoma and small bowel lesions were verified as stromal tumors. DISCUSSION: In patients with NF1, pheochromocytomas and GISTs are well known neoplasms seen with increased incidence than the general population.

conclusionIn patients with NF1, any symptoms with other systems should be managed carefully for underlying malignity.
