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

Metastasis from lung carcinoma to the sphenoid bone is rare. Patients with symptoms related to sphenoid bone metastasis as the initial presentation of carcinoma are thus also rare. Herein, we report the case of a patient presenting with only cheek dysesthesia as the first sign of lung adenocarcinoma. The 74-year-old woman presented with a 2-month history of left cheek dysesthesia. CT showed a tumor around 2.5 cm in diameter with heterogeneous enhancement of the central focus at the left foramen rotundum in the sphenoid bone. We endoscopically biopsied the tumor through the left sphenoid sinus. Results of histologic examination were consistent with lung adenocarcinoma. FDG-PET/CT analysis demonstrated lung carcinoma that had already metastasized to mediastinal lymph nodes and multiple bones, such as the ribs and lumbar vertebras, in addition to the sphenoid bone.
