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

We report the case of a 30-year-old woman with histologically proven monostotic fibrous dysplasia of C2 revealed by a pathological fracture of the odontoid process. Radiological investigations showed a ground-glass mineralization of the vertebral body, a centimetric lytic area with poorly defined margins involving the inferior part of the vertebral body and inferior endplate and a fracture through an osteolytic area in the base of the odontoid process. Owing to the vertebral instability, a surgical procedure combining C0-C5 fixation and posterior bone grafting was performed. The surgical biopsy was inconclusive and pathological confirmation was finally obtained through a percutaneous needle biopsy under fluoroscopic guidance. At 26-month follow-up, the patient still experienced mild persistent cervical posterior neck pain and stiffness possibly related to a C5-6 laxity below the intervertebral fixation. This case combines three radiological findings, which are unusual in fibrous dysplasia: monostotic presentation involving the spine, some aggressive radiographic features, and a pathological fracture.
