Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma around Achilles tendon: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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 an uncommon benign fibrous tumor, typically develops around the fascia and tendons and commonly observed in children and adolescents. It usually occurs in the distal portion of the extremities. Presented as slow growing painless mass, treated with complete surgical excision with high recurrence tendency. We report a case of calcifying aponeurotic fibroma in a 4-year-old girl located posterior to Achilles tendon. Clinical, radiographic, and magnetic resonance imaging findings are described. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of CAF located posterior to Achilles tendon.
