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

We describe an unexpected and unique case of phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor in a 38-year-old female presenting with a painful lump in the plantar hindfoot. Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors are extremely rare, generally benign soft tissue or osseous tumors, which are associated with overexpression of fibroblast growth factor-23 and tumor-associated osteomalacia. Patients often present with progressive signs and symptoms including systemic bone pain, muscle weakness, and insufficiency fractures, and timely diagnosis is paramount to appropriate therapy. Tumor resection is almost always curative with normalization of laboratory markers and resolution of symptomatology.
