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

backgroundMultiple primary tumors, especially quadruple primary neoplasms is extremely rare. Fibrous dysplasia (FD), osteosarcoma (OS), and giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) are three bone tumors with low incidence while primary pulmonary meningioma is a rare disease. In this case report, we present a unique synchronous occurrence of these four separate pathological conditions. CASE PRESENTATION: A 53-year-old male previously underwent resection of OS of fifth rib and FD of eighth rib 1 year ago. Recently, a discontinuous pain at right knee developed. Serial X-ray films showed a progressively pure osteolytic lesion of proximal tibia which extended gradually. The incisional biopsy revealed that this tumor was confirmed as GCTB, and the tumor was successfully managed by extensive curettage and bone cement filling. The diagnosis of GCTB was re-confirmed by the postoperative histopathologic examinations. High-throughput sequencing from the GCTB exhibited a somatic mutation of H3.3A (G35W exon2). Germline testing revealed a germ-cell variant in gene of BRCA2 (exon 8 V220Ifs*4).

conclusionsThis is a unique case with quadruple primary tumors. Germline mutation in gene of BRCA2 may be associated with the occurrence of multiple primary tumors in this patient.
