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

introductionMyositis ossificans of the deltoid muscle is extremely rare. We present a case with unique presentation and MRI findings. CASE REPORT: A 21-year-old female presented with a 3-month history of a swelling in lateral aspect of the right arm. There was no history of trauma, injection, or surgery to the area. Examination showed a 3 × 3 cm firm mass in the deltoid muscle. MRI findings were suggestive of myxoma. Surgical excision was done and histopathology showed the classic features of myositis ossificans. There was no recurrence at the final follow-up 7 months later. DISCUSSION: Myositis ossificans of the deltoid muscle is very rare with only 6 cases previously reported in the literature. Our case is unique in presentation because it is the first case reported with no history of trauma, Injection, sickness or surgery in the area. We also review the literature for MRI features of Myositis ossificans and show that our case has a unique pattern.

conclusionWe report on a rare case of Myositis ossificans of the deltoid muscle and review of the literature for similar cases and MRI features of Myositis ossificans. We show that our case was unique both in presentation and MRI finding.
