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

A 54-year-old woman underwent [ 18 F] FDG PET/CT for assessment of a voluminous ascites with an infiltrating lesion on the left breast at clinical examination. PET-CT revealed a large left breast lesion with homolateral axillary lymph nodes and a left iliac lytic bone lesion, but also hepatomegaly with diffuse and extensive uptake with brain and renal hypometabolism. The result suggest an hepar lobatum carcinomatosum with sequestration of the radiotracer in the liver with a reduction of the background physiological activity. This "hot liver aspect" means being cautious about the risk of a false-negative lesion at staging.
