Unusual Presentation of Fibrous Dysplasia in an Elderly Patient.
Article in Journal of radiology case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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 benign fibro-osseous lesion occurring throughout the skeletal system with a predilection for craniofacial bones, long bones, and ribs. Fibrous dysplasia develops during bone formation and growth with a variable natural evolution. It is considered a genetic nonheritable disease resulting from missense mutations that occur postzygotically in the GNAS1 gene. This mutation leads to a focal congenital failure of proper bone formation and arrest at the woven bone stage. In turn, this leads to a decreased mechanical strength, causing bone pain, pathological fractures, and skeletal deformities. Besides clinical examination, fibrous dysplasia is diagnosed based on the results of radiographic imaging and the microscopic histopathological findings. On CT scan, fibrous dysplasia shows the characteristic "Ground-glass" appearance with well-defined borders. On MRI, fibrous dysplasia has a low signal intensity on T1-weighted MRI and variable signal intensity on T2-weighted MRI. We hereby report a case of an unusual presentation of fibrous dysplasia in a 67-year-old female presenting to the emergency department with generalized malaise and lower limb pain. Fibrous dysplasia may present in the elderly population and can be difficult to differentiate from other malignant and benign lesions affecting the skeletal system.
