Surgical resection of a giant intramuscular lipoma of the biceps brachii: a case report and review of the literature.
Review in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Lipomas are frequent benign soft-tissue tumors mainly located in the subcutis. Occasionally, subfascial or inter- or intramuscular lipomas are encountered. This case report describes the surgical management of a very rare giant intramuscular lipoma of the right biceps brachii muscle in a 71-year-old male patient. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging as well as intraoperative photographs depict the complexity of this case and aid in the discussion about indications for surgery, as management guidelines of these deep-seated tumors are still inconsistent.
