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

backgroundTo introduce the concept of "ring sign" and to evaluate its role in the diagnostic imaging of osteochondromyxoma in patients with Carney complex (CNC).

methodsThree patients presenting osteochondromyxoma with CNC were included for evaluation of the ring sign on different imaging modalities, including radiographs, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. The literature was reviewed for further discussion.

resultsThe ring sign in osteochondromyxoma could be seen on radiographs, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance images in all three patients at each of the involved sites. The morphological patterns and the number of ring signs varied by case, site, and imaging method. Some previous reports have shown images that contain ring signs, but do not identify them as such.

conclusionsRing sign can be considered as a relatively specific sign, helpful for the imaging diagnosis of osteochondromyxoma in the CNC.
