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

Uremic leontiasis ossea is a rare condition, reported in patients with severe renal disease. Patients present with progressive enlargement of facial bones - in particular, the maxillary and mandibular bones. Rarity of this condition leaves clinicians puzzled on initial evaluation and management. Herein, we present a 31-year-old man diagnosed with uremic leontiasis ossea. The report aims to review the pathophysiology of the condition as described in the literature, the patient presentation and imaging modalities used to investigate, and classical findings seen in patients with uremic leontiasis ossea. Finally, we briefly touch base on the reported regimens used to prevent and manage this condition.
