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

Maffucci's syndrome is a rare congenital nonhereditary syndrome with less than 300 cases having been reported in the United States. It is characterized by multiple enchondromas, hemangiomas, and rarely lymphangiomas. Enchondromas may undergo malignant transformation to chondrosarcomas. Surveillance plays a vital role in detecting early malignant transformation. Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT, although falling out of favor, may be utilized as an imaging modality by physicians to determine such transformation, allowing for timely management and intervention. In this report, we share our experience with such a case.
