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

backgroundInfantile myofibromatosis, a rare soft tissue neoplasm that may present at birth or in early infancy, is the most common fibrous tumor of infancy and early childhood. Diagnosis could be challenging due to different clinical presentation. Very few cases are detected prenatally and visceral involvement is extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of Disseminated Infantile Myofibromatosis with challenging prenatal ultrasound and misleading clinical presentation. Diagnosis was very difficult and confirmed by pathology results obtained after birth.

conclusionsVisceral involvement constitutes a specific unfavorable prognostic factor but a watchful waiting approach would always be appropriate, since spontaneous regression and a favourable evolution are possible and age-related chemotherapy severe side effects and long-term sequelae are matter of concern.
