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

Objective: To determine diagnostic accuracy of Method: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Results: Total 131 participants were included with a male predominance i.e. 104 (79.6%). The mean (±SD) age was 8.7 ± 3.4 years. The present study reported PET/CT to have a sensitivity, specificity diagnostic accuracy, PPV and NPV of 94.1%, 92%, 92%, 64% and 99% respectively. Conclusion: Our findings support the idea that BMB should not be routinely conducted in all patients but rather can be reserved exclusively for patients with dubious 18F-FDG bone marrow findings, as this test has strong diagnostic potential for evaluating BMI involvement in HL.
