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

BACKGROUND/

aimWe hypothesized that regional tumor growth into L1 and L2 vertebral bodies from renal pelvis carcinoma was linked to the development of bone metastases. MATERIALS AND

methodsCriteria for the study were: (i) Metastatic renal pelvis carcinoma confirmed via pathology and computed tomographic (CT) scan, (ii) L1 and L2 invasion confirmed from retrospective CT scan review, and (iii) detection of bone metastases using radionuclide images/CT scans.

resultsA total of 71 cases were enrolled in the study. Initial L1 and L2 vertebral body invasion. were detected in 45 (63%) patients. As well as L1 and L2 invasion, 32 (71%) had development of bone metastases. All bone lesions were osteolytic. Initial L1 and L2 invasion (p<0.00001) was associated with the development of bone metastasis.

conclusionCT scan can help to detect L1 and L2 vertebral body invasion in patients with renal pelvis carcinoma. Early identification and optimal management of such patients is necessary.
