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

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) rarely metastasizes to the carpal bones. We describe a 43-year-old woman with a history of RCC who presented with ulnar-sided wrist pain. Imaging demonstrated complete osteolytic destruction of the hamate. Treatment consisted of excision of the hamate, intralesional curettage, cement reconstruction, and internal fixation to the adjacent carpal bones and the fourth and fifth metacarpals. At 15 months of follow-up, no local recurrence, carpal instability, or implant-related complications were observed. Surgical excision with cementation and internal fixation achieved local tumor control, maintained carpal stability, and enabled early functional recovery in this rare case of hamate metastasis from RCC.
