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

contextTumor induced osteomalacia related to anaplastic thyroid cancer has never been reported.

objectiveWe describe a case of tumor induced osteomalacia (TIO) in a patient with a fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) secreting anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. The current imaging modalities are reviewed. DESIGN AND

interventionClinical, biochemical, and radiological assessments were done, including computer tomography (CT) of the neck and skull to thigh positron emission tomography (PET)/CT. The patient underwent surgical tumor debulking three days after presentation due to airway compromise. Molecular studies of the resected tissue were performed using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and gel electrophoresis for the phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor FGF-23.

resultsResected tissue demonstrated features of anaplastic thyroid cancer with positive markers for FGF-23 protein, consistent with a FGF-23 secreting paraneoplastic tumor. The patient's metastatic burden rapidly progressed as demonstrated by a dramatic rise in serum FGF-23 levels and worsening hypophosphatemia in concert with progression of the metastatic lesions on PET/CT.

conclusionWe believe that our patient's rapidly progressive anaplastic thyroid cancer was responsible for persistent hypophosphatemia and osteomalacia, substantiated by the finding of FGF-23 protein within the thyroid tumor cells. Our case indicates that anaplastic thyroid cancer can cause TIO.
