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

Extragonadal teratomas in adults are an extremely rare entity. Teratomas may be mature or immature and are characterized by their midline presentation. We are presenting here a case report of immature teratoma of the palm in a 35-year-old female. The patient developed a recurrent swelling of the palm from which a wedge biopsy was taken and sent for histopathological examination. A diagnosis of "immature teratoma, grade 2" was made, whose margins were compromised. Later on ultrasonography (USG) abdomen and pelvis and whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed no significant findings ruling out the possibility of an occult primary. MRI palm showed a well-defined cystic lesion with loculations suggestive of teratoma. Re-exploration was advised to achieve free margins.
