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

Birt-Hogg-Dube (BHD) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant condition identified by the triad of cutaneous fibrofolliculomas, pulmonary cysts, and renal cell carcinoma. The vast majority of patients with BHD syndrome initially present with spontaneous pneumothorax. This unique case describes a patient with BHD syndrome who presented with sebaceous cysts and perifollicular fibromas. The evaluation by dermatology is what led to his diagnosis. Expanding the clinical presentation of BHD syndrome to encompass a variety of skin findings could help with recognizing these patients before they suffer the serious complications of renal carcinoma and pneumothorax.
