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

backgroundThe link between mesenteric panniculitis (MP) and cancer is debated. We explored this association after adjusting for age. MATERIALS &

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed abdominal CT scans of 8,750 patients between 2015 and 2017. Patients were categorized by cancer status.

resultsOf included patients, 8.7% had cancer. MP was found in 148 patients (58% males, mean age 57.8 years). MP was more frequent in cancer patients (5.14%) compared to no-cancer group (1.36%). Among MP patients, breast cancer was the most common malignancy. After adjusting for age, MP remained significantly associated with breast cancer and multiple myeloma in females and lymphoma in males.

conclusionMP was significantly associated with breast cancer and multiple myeloma in females and lymphoma in males.
