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

Eccrine spiradenoma is a benign adnexal tumor of the sweat gland. Giant vascular eccrine spiradenoma is a rare variant of eccrine spiradenoma, characterized by its large size and florid vascularity. Its rarity and clinical appearance give rise to typical misdiagnosis as angiomatous lesions. We present a case of a giant vascular eccrine spiradenoma that was initially diagnosed as a thrombosed varix on the basis of clinical presentation and ultrasound features. This case reintroduces this rare condition and also highlights the differential diagnoses of lower limb skin nodules that may masquerade as a thrombosed varix.
