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

A 54-year-old man presented with a pathologic hip fracture secondary to a right femur tumor. A reaming biopsy showed the diagnosis of dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma (DDC). In addition, the patient had a thyroid mass. Fine needle aspirate from the thyroid mass revealed numerous large fragments of cohesive spindle cells with moderate nuclear atypia and brisk mitosis, identical to the femur tumor. Immunohistochemical staining on cell blocks of thyroid aspirate showed positivity for mesenchymal markers and negativity for epithelial and thyroid markers. The metastasis of DDC to the thyroid gland is a very rare incident and has previously been described once in the literature. In this report, we describe the clinical and pathologic findings of this case.
