Osteomalacia Following Iron Infusion Therapy in a Patient With Rendu-Osler-Weber Syndrome: F-18-FDG PET/CT Discrimination of a Stress Fracture in the Setting of a Musculoskeletal Tumor Mimic.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
This case report highlights a rare occurrence of osteomalacia induced by hypophosphatemia secondary to ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) therapy in a patient with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT, or Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome). A 21-year-old man presented with left tibial pain without prior trauma, accompanied by severe hypophosphatemia, vitamin D deficiency, and elevated fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels. Upon the full diagnostic imaging work-up, F-18-FDG PET/CT majorly contributed to the differential diagnosis by excluding potential malignancy and verifying a stress fracture. Treatment included vitamin D supplementation and oral phosphorus replacement, along with discontinuation of ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) therapy. This case demonstrates the importance of vigilance for metabolic bone disease in patients undergoing FCM treatment, particularly those with predisposing conditions such as HHT, to prevent misdiagnosis and mitigate complications.
