Tumour induced osteopenia due to phosphaturic mesenchymal sinonasal tumour presenting with delayed onset insufficiency fractures.

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
We present a case of a 48-year-old female who presented with epistaxis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a mass within the left nasal cavity which was revealed to be a phosphaturic mesenchymal sinonasal tumour. The patient defaulted treatment at this stage and later re-presented with pelvic and groin pain for which plain radiographs and computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated diffuse osteopenia and multiple pelvic fractures of varying ages. MRI of the pelvis and both thighs revealed abnormal marrow signal of the bones and confirmed the presence of pelvic fractures. Multiple pseudo-fractures were seen at both femurs and scapula. The radiological findings along with abnormal biochemical markers were attributed to the paraneoplastic entity of tumour induced osteomalacia, in the context of unresected phosphaturic mesenchymal tumour. The tumour was resected, and patient showed complete reversal of the associated biochemical abnormalities. This case exemplifies that with early identification and complete resection of the causative tumour, the prognosis is excellent.
