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

We report a case of multiple painful cutaneous piloleiomyomas that prompted evaluation for hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC). A 26-year-old man presented with multiple painful erythematous-to-brown papules on the left upper arm that were exacerbated by cold exposure and emotional stress. Histopathologic examination demonstrated piloleiomyoma, prompting evaluation for HLRCC despite the absence of a personal or family history of similar lesions. The patient was counseled regarding the association between multiple cutaneous leiomyomas and HLRCC, and referred for genetic evaluation and appropriate renal surveillance. This case highlights the importance of recognizing multiple painful cutaneous leiomyomas as a potential cutaneous marker of an underlying hereditary cancer syndrome. Early recognition can facilitate timely genetic counseling, appropriate renal surveillance, and multidisciplinary management.
