Factors Affecting Life Expectancy After Bone Metastasis in Adults - Results of a 5-year Prospective Study.
Article in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
There is a scarcity of literature available regarding the factors affecting life expectancy in bone metastasis (BM). Our objective is to evaluate the factors affecting life expectancy in adult patients with BM. In this prospective cohort study for over 5 years, 111 adults with BM were included in the analysis. The life expectancy was calculated from the time of diagnosis of BM to death. Statistical analysis was done using the SPSS statistical program. The Pearson chi-square test was used to analyze the significance and life expectancy was represented on the Kaplan Meier curve. The overall median survival time was 9 months. The patients with a primary malignancy detected along with BM had a median survival of 9 months. Those without a known primary at the time of diagnosis survived for a median period of 8 months and those with known primary for 14 months (
