Sphenoid sinus is a rare site for tumor-induced osteomalacia: A case report and literature review.
Review in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: In this paper, we present a rare case of tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) and a literature review of this rare disease. Methods: A case of TIO of the isolated sphenoid sinus was reported. Furthermore, the clinical features of TIO in the sphenoid sinus and other sinonasal sinuses were also reviewed and summarized. Results: A 35-year-old man with muscle weakness and lower back pain came to the Department of Neurology. No obvious neurological disease was found; however, magnetic resonance imaging of the extremities accidentally showed a tumor in the axilla. Bone scintigraphy showed suspicious bone metastasis. Hypophosphatemia was neglected. Interestingly, 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-d-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( Conclusion: TIO in the sinonasal sinus, especially in the sphenoid sinus, is rare. Moreover, isolated sphenoid sinus disease can be easily misdiagnosed. When the clinical manifestation of osteomalacia is atypical, associating it with sphenoid sinus disease is even more difficult. Thus, TIO in the sphenoid sinus needs further exploration.
