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

Soft-tissue masses located at the hand and wrist are a frequent clinical presentation. The majority of these are ganglia, which have characteristic imaging features. Other common masses in which a diagnosis is suggested by imaging include hemangiomas, lipomas, and focal synovitis. The remainder are rare although a diagnosis may be attempted by considering the patients' age and the location. We reviewed 39 soft-tissue masses at the hand and wrist referred to our institution between September 1998 and January 2006 that had indeterminate imaging features. The majority were benign neoplastic lesions with the most common being a giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath, followed by angioleiomyoma, peripheral nerve sheath tumor, fibromatosis, fibroma of tendon sheath, and solitary fibrous tumor. These lesions tend to occur in young adults at the metacarpal level. However, there are no imaging features that can reliably differentiate between benign and malignant tumors.
