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

A case report to describe the occurrence of Dupuytren's disease in the wrist leading to compression of the palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve. A 60-year-old male presented with a lump on the volar aspect of the left wrist with reduced sensation in the thenar eminence. Intra-operatively this was found to be a nodule integrated within the palmaris longus tendon and positioned superficially to the palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve. Histological findings were consistent with Dupuytren's disease and the patient's symptoms improved post excision of the nodule. Although Dupuytren's nodules occur rarely in the wrist, they should be considered as part of the differential diagnosis of wrist lumps and they have the potential to impact on nearby neural structures.
