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

Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a locally aggressive benign neoplasm that is associated with a large biological spectrum ranging from latent benign to highly recurrent and occasionally metastatic tumor. In this article, we present a case of a 37-year-old woman who presented with fracture at the distal femur due to GCTB. Bone segment resection and reconstruction were done, and histopathology showed tumor features for GCTB. Later, multiple lung metastasis was found 22 months post-operation, which was verified by biopsy. Then systemic denosumab therapy with different intervals (1-month and 2-month) was tried as the treatment. It was clarified that monthly denosumab administration, instead of 2-month interval, was required to control the progression of the unresectable multiple lung metastasis from GCTB, which could be a choice for the future treatment of these patients.
