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

introductionWe report a case of late onset hyperplastic callus formation (HPC) in the right femur in type V osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) mimicking the occurrence of a malignant osteosarcoma. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 27-year-old female patient consulted us due to swelling in her right femur over 2-3 months without trauma. X-rays looked like an osteosarcoma, blood tests showed increased bone metabolism. A CT scan, a MRI and biopsy were performed, showing late onset HPC due to osteogenesis imperfecta type V. DISCUSSION: OI shows a heterogeneous disease pattern due to a variety of clinical and radiographic findings. HPC is a rare complication of OI type V. Differential diagnosis range from cortical or periosteal osteosarcoma, periostitis, myositis ossificans, subperiosteal hematoma secondary to trauma or osteomyelitis.

conclusionRecognition of HPC as a form of this particular type of OI is important to avoid misdiagnosis like malignant transformation to osteosarcoma. A biopsy and advanced imaging modalities like CT, MRI and scintigraphy are recommended.
