Multiple large xanthomas: A case report.
Article in Oncology letters, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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 23-year-old male patient presented with multiple large masses in his elbows, buttocks, knees, Achilles tendons, feet, shoulders and hands. The large masses in the elbows and buttocks measured ~6×5×5 cm and ~7×5×4 cm, respectively. The patient presented with an elevated level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and had been previously diagnosed with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and multiple xanthomas. Local surgical excisions were performed to remove the massive xanthomas from the elbows and buttocks, and histological analysis of the surgical specimens confirmed the previous diagnosis of homozygous FH (HoFH). The aim of the present study was to report a rare case of HoFH coinciding with multiple, large and widely-distributed xanthomas and to discuss the clinical characteristics, in order to provide a better understanding of xanthomas and FH.
