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

Proteus syndrome is a genetic condition with an estimated incidence of less than one in a million. This condition is sporadic and presents as progressive, mosaic overgrowth of different tissues. Clinical manifestations are diverse, with the reported involvement of lungs, skin, blood cells, the nervous system and bones. Gynecologic manifestations have rarely been reported in the literature. This case is the first to be reported in the literature of a woman with Proteus syndrome diagnosed in her prepubertal years and presenting at 34 years old with a cervical mass protruding from the vagina. The patient sought medical intervention only after the prolapse was advanced and symptomatic. Management of this case was surgical and consisted of vaginal hysterectomy, with vaginal suspension.
