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

Doege-Potter syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome that is often diagnosed incidentally during the workup of hypoglycemia of unclear etiology. It is characterized by a non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia secondary to excessive production of partially processed IGF-II hormone from a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT). Often these tumors are intrathoracic, benign, and asymptomatic. Occasionally they present as a paraneoplastic event; hypertrophic osteoarthropathy in Pierre-Marie-Bamberger syndrome and hypoglycemia in Doege-Potter syndrome. The NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion is the hallmark of the SFT. Complete surgical resection of the tumor often results in resolution of symptoms and cure in most cases. Here we present the case of an 83-year-old non-diabetic female with recurrent syncopal events who was diagnosed with the Doege-Potter syndrome secondary to a SFT of pleura. Her tumor was positive for NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion on RT-PCR. Following the resection of the giant tumor mass, she became symptom-free within 24 h, and has remained asymptomatic at 4 months follow-up.
