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

Intraosseous myoepithelial carcinoma is an extremely rare type of bone tumor that most often presents in the long tubular bones, but also occurs in small tubular bones and the axial skeleton. We report the radiographic images and complete magnetic resonance (MR) features of a 44-year-old male with right knee pain of 7 months' duration. The radiographic findings and convention MR images indicated a giant cell tumor of the bone. The dynamic contrast-enhanced images showed a patent with the early wash-in and early wash-out usually noted in a giant cell tumor of the bone. Only water restriction on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) showed the malignant impression. Care should be taken when conventional images indicate giant cell tumor of the bone, as intraosseous myoepithelial carcinoma, although rare, can mimic this more common diagnosis. Further studies with DWI are warranted.
