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

backgroundThis study aimed at evaluating the imaging findings of phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors and tumor-induced osteomalacia and assess the clinical and biochemical profiles of patients with tumor-induced osteomalacia. MATERIALS AND

methodsImaging findings in six patients with tumor-induced osteomalacia and histopathologically proven phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors were evaluated. Clinical and biochemical profiles of these patients were also assessed.

resultsAlong with having a characteristic biochemical profile, patients with phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors also have certain imaging findings which can aid in the diagnosis such as increased uptake on DOTA PET-CT and homogeneous post-contrast enhancement on CT and MRI.

conclusionPatients with tumor-induced osteomalacia have characteristic symptoms, imaging and biochemical profiles. For radiologists, raising the suspicion of a phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor in patients with refractory hypophosphatemic osteomalacia as well as localizing the tumor on imaging is crucial, as complete excision of the tumor leads to resolution of the osteomalacia and the patient's clinical symptoms.
