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

introductionHyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) is a relatively common incidental finding on head computed tomography (CT). We report two patients with HFI identified on amyloid-beta (Aβ) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT who demonstrated distinct patterns of tracer uptake within the affected calvarium.

methodsBoth patients underwent

resultsPatient 1 was an 85-year-old woman with amnestic mild cognitive impairment whose DISCUSSION: Off-target tracer retention within the calvarium may represent a source of visual and quantitative misinterpretation in Aβ and tau PET scans in patients with HFI, particularly older women. Careful visual inspection and adjustment of automated quantification masks are essential to avoid inaccurate Centiloid and standardized uptake value ratio measurements.
