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

Introduction: Phosphoglyceride crystal deposition disease (PCDD) is characterized by the deposition of phosphoglyceride crystals in the soft tissue or bone, forming tumor-like structures. Case Presentation: Herein, we report a case of slow-growing PCDD of the rib followed for 11 years in a 84-year-old man who had received the surgery for lung cancer. The diagnosis was based on computed tomography (CT)-guided needle biopsy. Initial fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) conducted in 2015 showed no apparent abnormal findings in the left third rib bone. FDG-PET/CT in 2018 revealed an expansive, lytic lesion measuring 9 mm in long size in the left third rib posterior arc with weak FDG uptake (maximum standardized uptake value [SUVmax] of 2.72). In the past 8 years, the mass increased to 24 mm with increasing of FDG uptake (SUVmax of 13.35), and did not show any findings such as cortical breakthrough, peritoneal reaction, soft tissue component, or pathological fracture. Conclusion: We should keep this rare disease which shows slow-growing in mind.
