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

Münchmeyer's disease, also known as fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, is an extremely rare congenital condition affecting the musculoskeletal system, occurring in approximately 1 in 2 million people. We report the case of a 13-month-old male toddler who presented with dorsal cutaneous nodules. Examination revealed a firm, immobile nodule and congenital hallux valgus with microdactyly. Imaging studies showed ossifications of the subcutaneous tissues, and genetic testing confirmed a mutation in the ACVR1 gene, leading to the diagnosis of Münchmeyer's disease. This disabling, progressive condition is characterized by extraskeletal ossification and congenital big toe malformations. The precocity of the diagnosis in this case is noteworthy, as Münchmeyer's disease is often misdiagnosed, leading to significant delays and complications. Awareness of this rare condition is important for dermatologists to avoid missed or delayed diagnoses, as early recognition and appropriate management are crucial.
