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

Fibrous dysplasia is a rare non-malignant condition where fibrous tissue replaces the normal bone architecture. Involvement of temporal and occipital bones is exceptionally rare and is associated with unique complications. A 10-year-old boy presented with right retroauricular enlargement and pain. Imaging studies and biopsy revealed fibrous dysplasia of the temporal and occipital bones. There was no hearing loss or sequelae arising from posterior fossa compression. The patient was discharged with follow-up instructions. Only 10 cases of occipital bone fibrous dysplasia have been reported in the medical literature. Occipital bone fibrous dysplasia can be complicated with Chiari malformation and syringomyelia while temporal bone involvement is associated with hearing loss. These potential developments require close follow-up that includes detailed neurologic examination, imaging and audiology.
