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

Segmental neurofibromatosis (SN) is rare form of neurofibromatosis characterized that cutaneous or neural changes are limited to one region of the body. SN present neurofibroma and less frequently, café au lait macules (CALMs) on usually unilateral or rarely bilateral of the body region. SN seems to have fewer systemic complications than neurofibromatosis type I or II, except patients with plexiform neurofibromas (PNFs). PNFs are rare benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors which arise from single or multiple nerves. PNFs can easily become aggressive growth particularly during puberty or pregnancy and leading to disfigurement and functional impairment. Also, PNFs can transform to malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, higher rate than classic neurofibroma. So, it is important to decide appropriate treatment modalities and time to intervention.
