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

Differential diagnosis of a mass in the popliteal fossa includes a number of pathologies, such as Baker's cyst, extra-articular ganglia cyst, hematoma, proliferation of adipose tissue, aneurysm of the popliteal artery, thrombosed varicose vein, gouty tophi and benign or malignant soft tissue tumors. Schwannoma is the most common benign peripheral nerve tumor. However, only a few authors have so far reported on schwannomas located on the common fibular nerve. The aim of this paper is to present contrast-enhanced ultrasound and ultrasound elastographic features of a rare case of schwannoma of the common fibular nerve as well as imaging features of a schwannoma of the peripheral nerve.
