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

Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a locally aggressive benign neoplasm that is associated with a large biological spectrum ranging from latent benign to highly recurrent and occasionally metastatic tumor. In this article, we present a case of a 26-year-old woman who presented with swelling at the left lower ribs during pregnancy. Surgical excision was done, and histopathology showed tumor with features consistent with GCTB. MRI preformed after delivery revealed recurrence of the mass with extensive growth reaching 17 cm with two subcutaneous satellite nodules in the adjacent abdominal wall. positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scan revealed bilateral fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid lung nodules. Surgical resection was done, and histopathology showed no evidence of malignant transformation. Few months later, the tumor recurred again, with peritoneal deposits. The patient underwent wide massive resection of the recurrent mass and then started on denosumab therapy. Molecular analysis of the tumor detected H3F3A G34W mutation with no copy number alterations. We are presenting this case of GCTB with pulmonary distant metastasis and extrapulmonary seeding to upsurge awareness among clinicians about the possible extreme aggressive biological behavior of GCTB that can mimic the presentation of malignant bone tumor and also to discuss the possible predictive factors of such aggressive behavior.
