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

Bone metastasis is common, mostly resulting from hematogenous spread and usually carrying significant morbidity. The clinical presentation of bone metastasis depends on the site of metastasis and the involved structures. Radiological studies are usually able to detect the location and extent of the lesions with high accuracy. Management of bone metastasis is often a challenging mission. Here, we highlight the case of a 46-year-old postmenopausal lady who was diagnosed with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated, and International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IIIC1, after she presented with postcoital and irregular vaginal bleeding. The patient received chemoradiotherapy. Two months following treatment completion, she complained of painful occipital swelling. Computerized tomography (CT) of the brain revealed an occipital bone lytic lesion without intraparenchymal involvement, which was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) and nuclear bone scans excluded other sites of recurrences. She underwent surgical resection for this occipital lesion. The pathological analysis has confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic SCC of cervical origin. Given the poor prognosis of cervical cancer with bone metastasis, early diagnosis and proper palliative treatment probably preserve the quality of the patient's life despite the expected poor survival rate.
