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

rationaleHemolymphangioma is a rare developmental defect of combined vasal and lymphatic vasculature. It is very rare that hemolymphangioma affects the bones and bladder simultaneously, and this condition has never been reported in PubMed. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 12-year-old male has a history of hospitalization for recurrent episodes of chyluria of 8 years duration and progressively worsening gross hematuria with right hip pain for 6 months. DIAGNOSIS: Chylous test of urine fluid was positive. There was no organic disease in the kidneys. Ga-NOTA-Evans Blue (NEB) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) images demonstrated clearly several round and strip-shaped low-density shadows with mildly increased radioactive uptake in both bladder wall and pelvis, including sacral, pubic, and ischial bones. Histopathological analysis of biopsy on pubic and ischial bones confirmed the diagnosis of hemolymphangioma.

interventionsThe patient received treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. OUTCOMES: At the 6-month follow-up visit, the patient's symptoms of chyluria, hematuria, and pain were all mitigated. LESSONS: Hemolymphangioma is a rare benign disease. Ga-NEB PET/CT is a specific method for the lymphatic system, and it might provide more accurate and comprehensive information about the disorder of the lymphatic system compared with CT and magnetic resonance imaging. When patients suffer from suspected lesions of the lymphatic system, Ga-NEB PET/CT might be recommended.
