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 65-year-old female with newly diagnosed cholangiocarcinoma was referred for a FDG PET/CT for initial staging. There was a region of moderate FDG avidity localizing to the hepatic hilum representing the primary site of malignancy. An unexpected moderately FDG avid focus was demonstrated in the spinous process of the T11 vertebra with no corresponding mass lesion seen on low dose CT and no evidence of distant metastatic disease elsewhere. A percutaneous CT guided needle bone biopsy was performed which confirmed a solitary T11 spinous process metastasis on histopathology.
