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

Osteopoikilosis (OPK) is a benign, rare, asymptomatic osteosclerotic bone dysplasia which is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. It may develop during childhood and persists throughout life. Diagnosis is usually made incidentally according to radiographs. It may be confused with other conditions, such as osteoblastic metastases. OPK must be in differential diagnosis when multiple, small, well-defined, symmetric bone lesions are identified on plain radiograph to avoid alarming the patient with more serious disease and misdiagnosis. Bone scintigraphy is normal and useful for differential diagnosis. Although it is usually asymptomatic, effusion and joint pain can be found in 15-20 % of patients. In this study, we report a 17-year-old boy who suffers from low back pain and has a mother with similar involvement. He was diagnosed OPK radiologically. We also review the clinical manifestation, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of OPK in this paper.
