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

Acrometastasis, especially in the hands and fingers, is a rare clinical condition resulting from primary cancers such as lung, breast, kidney, and, rarely, thyroid cancer. Acrometastasis tends to be the tip of the iceberg in patients with extensive systemic disease, which could be regional, pulmonary, skeletal, neurological, or all of them combined. Even though these tumors are clearly visible and symptomatic, the diagnosis is usually misleading because such distal metastatic disease is not thought of at first. In general, systemic treatments should be given to any patient presenting digital acrometastasis. We describe two cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma and digital acrometastasis as a sign of advanced disease.
