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 man in his 40s was referred with persistent hypophosphataemia and bony pain. A serum fibroblast growth factor 23 level was markedly elevated and a diagnosis of tumour-induced osteomalacia was considered. Whole body imaging revealed multiple insufficiency fractures but no osseus tumours. There was, however, a durally-based intracranial lesion whose imaging characteristics were consistent with a meningioma. The tumour was removed, leading to rapid normalisation of the patient's symptoms and serum markers. Histology confirmed a phosphaturic mesenchymal tumour. We review the literature regarding this rare clinical situation.
