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

Solid organ cancers infrequently metastasize to bone marrow (BM). BM involvement by cancer in adults leads to poor prognosis and it becomes difficult to provide appropriate treatment. We aimed to study the clinical, pathological and radiological characteristics of adult patients with BM involvement at our institute. Eleven adult patients diagnosed with BM involvement associated with solid organ cancer were included in the study. Clinical, laboratory, radiological and treatment details were analysed. Carcinoma of the breast accounted for majority of the cases. Most of the patients had poor performance status (PS) at diagnosis. Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was found to be elevated in all cases. Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was elevated in all except 1 case. Median overall survival (OS) was 91 days. BM involvement from solid organ cancer in adults predicts a poor outcome. Serum LDH and serum ALP can serve as a marker of BM involvement.
