Easily misdiagnosed intramuscular hemangioma: a case report.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
An intramuscular hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor that often occurs in the lower extremities. We herein report a rare case of an intramuscular hemangioma that occurred in the gluteus medius muscle and was misdiagnosed as lumbar disc herniation. A 36-year-old woman presented with incidental and infrequent pain of the left buttock. She was diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation and underwent treatment. Although her pain was slightly relieved, relapse soon occurred. X-ray examination and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass in the gluteus medius muscle. The mass was suspected to be a malignant tumor and was therefore resected. The final diagnosis was an intramuscular hemangioma. Her pain completely disappeared thereafter and did not recur. Patients with intramuscular hemangiomas usually have no specific symptoms; therefore, this tumor is often misdiagnosed. When a satisfactory treatment effect is not obtained, the diagnosis should be reassessed in a timely manner.
