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

We report a case of a 65-year-old woman who sustained a left neck of femur (NOF) fracture following low-energy trauma. Computed tomography (CT) scan for the neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis was normal apart from enlargement of the right lobe of the thyroid. Interestingly, thyroid function was normal. While waiting for the result of thyroid cytology and bone histology, the patient recovered well from the operation and started to engage well with physiotherapy. The result of the investigation showed presence of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in the left NOF and right lobe of the thyroid. As the presence of lymphoma only in these two organs is extremely rare, it is not yet clear what is underlying mechanism for such association. Therefore, such observations may raise many future research questions as detailed in the discussion of this case report. This case also illustrates the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in identifying, evaluating, and treating unique and complex presentations of NOF fracture, with a focus on the patient's history, clinical examination and applying diagnostic tools.
