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

Management of metastatic bone disease is still evolving and is dependent upon many factors including the primary tumour type, expected life expectancy, site and size of lesion, character of the lesion, lytic or blastic, and the number of lesions. Active orthopaedic surgical intervention is usually required at the time of pathological fracture either impending or actual. Management options are either in situ fixation or replacement/arthroplasty. The role of post-operative radiotherapy is still not clearly defined and its biological effect on healing of pathological fracture is unclear. In this report, we describe a case of breast carcinoma with a large metastatic lytic lesion in the proximal femur, which was treated by in situ fixation followed by hormonal therapy and external beam radiotherapy. In the post-operative period, rapid and dramatic ossification and reformation of the proximal femur was observed.
