Cystinosis with sclerotic bone lesions.
Article in JIMD reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
A 26-year-old male with nephropathic cystinosis treated with cysteamine and renal transplantation presented for evaluation of multiple sclerotic bone lesions, which were an incidental finding on chest computerized tomography. These lesions were in a pattern consistent with osteoblastic metastases. He did not have a history of clinically significant hyperparathyroidism or cytopenias either preceding or following his transplant. Bone and tumor markers (including alkaline phosphatase and calcium) were all normal. A percutaneous bone biopsy of the lesions showed changes compatible with cystine deposition. Our case demonstrates that sclerotic bone lesions can be a feature of cystinosis in patients with normal parathyroid function and that significant bone marrow infiltration with cystine can be present even in the absence of cytopenias.
