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

Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma is a rare, benign fibroblastic tumor that typically occurs in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet in children and adolescents. We report an unusual case of a calcifying aponeurotic fibroma with diffuse intra-articular involvement of the carpal joints in a 59-year-old female. Radiographs and computed tomography scans revealed a large lobulated soft tissue mass with multiple stippled calcifications around the carpal joints and numerous erosions of the second to fifth carpometacarpal and intercarpal joints. Magnetic resonance imaging showed diffuse multinodular synovial proliferation with inhomogeneous hypo- to isointense signal intensity on T1-weighted images, inhomogeneous hypointense to hyperintense signal intensity on T2-weighted images, and inhomogeneous intense enhancement on fat-suppressed contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images. Radiologic diagnosis included gout, calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease, and tenosynovial giant cell tumor. Surgical excision was performed, and the mass was diagnosed on pathologic examination as a calcifying aponeurotic fibroma. There has been no reported case of a calcifying aponeurotic fibroma with diffuse intra-articular involvement of the carpal joints in the literature.
