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

objectiveNeurofibromatosis (NF) is the most common autosomal dominantly inherited neurocutaneous syndrome. The characteristic features of NF type 1 (NF-1) are café au lait spots, axillary and inguinal freckling, peripheral neurofibromas, optic pathway glioma, and Lisch nodules. The present study aimed to analyze the clinical features of children with NF-1. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this study, the children with NF-1 diagnosed and followed-up in our center between 2000 and 2020 were retrospectively evaluated. Demographic and clinical features of patients were defined.

resultsThe study group consisted of 52 patients. Of those, 25 were boys and 27 were girls. The children's median age at diagnosis was 5.9 years (1-15.8). Café au lait (CAL) spots and axillary/inguinal freckling were observed in 50 and 24 patients, respectively. Neurofibroma was present in 22 cases. Ten of the cohort had optic gliomas, and 39 of them had cranial hamartomas. Orthopedic complications such as scoliosis, tibial pseudoarthrosis, and osteoporosis were observed in 13 patients. Eleven children had neurocognitive disorders.

conclusionsEarly diagnosis is important in neurofibromatosis to prevent the complications of the disease. Also, neurological development and secondary malignancy follow-up should be done carefully in this group of patients.
