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 24-year-old patient with left eye proptosis and intermittent pain for 5 months was admitted to our hospital. Physical examination revealed neither extra ocular muscle limitations nor visual field defects. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a multicystic mass in the left extraconal space compressing the superior oblique muscle and adjacent frontal lobe. Layered hemorrhage was observed within the lesion in the 1-month follow-up MRI. Dynamic contrast enhanced imaging showed mild increased perfusion of the surrounding peripheral portion. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed an increased lactate/lipid peak of 1.3 ppm. Combined open and endonasal surgery was performed, and the final diagnosis was psammomatoid ossifying fibroma. The tumor was positive for vimentin, and negative for smooth muscle actin, S100 and epithelial membrane antigen. Despite its rarity, psammomatoid ossifying fibroma should be considered when multicystic lesions with peripheral enhancement near the orbit exhibit progressive inner hemorrhage.
