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

background and importanceAsymptomatic myelomeningoceles are usually more of cosmetic deformities and left without evaluation and untreated, amongst low socio-economic strata. Such midline swellings, if left neglected may become the seat for malignancies, usually of squamous cell origin. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: The authors report a case of an 18-year-old male patient who developed leiomyosarcoma within chronically neglected cervical myelomeningocele.

conclusionA non-healing ulcer of any aetiology is a bed for carcinogenesis. Neglected myelomeningoceles, for any reason, may convert a benign entity to a malignant pathology. To our best knowledge, this is the first case of a leiomyosarcoma arising de novo from myelomeningocele.
