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

Hemophilic pseudotumors (HPTs) are rare but serious complications of severe hemophilia, characterized by encapsulated hemorrhagic masses that can mimic neoplastic lesions. Although incidence has declined with modern prophylaxis, HPTs still occur, especially in patients with inadequate bleeding control. We present the case of a 13-year-old male with hemophilia A and multifocal pseudotumor formation in the distal femur and tibia. The diagnosis was supported by multimodal imaging, which revealed multiloculated, hemorrhagic lesions with cortical erosion. The patient underwent surgical resection with bone grafting and plate fixation, with no postoperative complications. This case highlights the diagnostic role of imaging and the radiological characteristics of HPTs, outlining a safe and effective surgical management approach. Awareness of this condition remains crucial in hemophilic patients presenting with expansile bone lesions that might resemble primary bone tumors or other cystic neoplasms.
