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

introductionExtraskeletal chondroma (ESC) is a benign, slow-growing cartilaginous tumor arising from tenosynovial sheaths. The aim of this article is to report and discuss a case of ESC affecting upper thigh. CASE REPORT: A 41-year-old male presented with a swelling in the medial aspect of the left thigh. On clinical examination, there was a 10 × 15 cm non-tender, hard, ill-defined mass in the medial aspect of the left upper thigh. Ultrasound showed a large well defined thick wall mass, located inside gracillis or adductor muscles. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a large well defined mass involving the adductor compartment of the upper thigh. The patient underwent wide local excision under spinal anesthesia. The histopathological examination of the specimen revealed binucleated chondrocytes with dots of calcification confirming ESC. DISCUSSION: There are many theories trying to explain the origin of ESC, as some authors think that it originates from the pluripotent cells of the tenosynovium, while others state that it may be derived from metaplasia of the tendon sheath. In this case, the lesion was completely surrounded by muscle fibers away from the nearby tendons.

conclusionExtraskeletal chondroma is a rare benign lesion, although mostly affect the upper extremities, it can be found anywhere in the body, histopathological examination of the specimen is the diagnostic method of choice.
