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

objectiveTo describe the characteristic imaging features of focal nodular marrow hyperplasia (FNMH). METHODS AND MATERIALS: Retrospective review of all patients with a diagnosis of FNMH between January 2007 and September 2019.

resultsThe study included 53 patients, 7 males and 46 females with a mean age of 58 years (range 12-95 years). All had MRI with conventional spin echo sequences showing a poorly defined round/oval lesion with mild

conclusionThe imaging appearances of FNMH have been described on various modalities, particularly MRI with emphasis on the role of IP and OP CSI typically demonstrating >20% SI reduction. FNMH should be recognised and treated as a 'do not touch' lesion which does not require biopsy or prolonged follow-up. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: We describe and clarify the imaging characteristics of FNMH on MRI, including CSI, CT and various nuclear medicine modalities. An imaging algorithm is suggested for allowing a non-invasive diagnosis.
