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

Malignant psoas syndrome (MPS) is a rare clinical condition caused by cancer invasion of the iliopsoas muscle and has very poor prognosis. We report a case involving a 58-year-old woman with bilateral MPS caused by advanced bladder cancer. Rapid progress of a severe crouching posture with multiple deep venous thromboses was an important symptom of this case. Although 4 cycles of chemotherapy were administered, the patient died 8 months following disease onset. Since, these noteworthy symptoms have never been previously reported, in this report, we present the characteristic physical findings using photographs and cancer-related events that occur in MPS.
