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

backgroundIntraneural ganglion cysts of the ulnar nerve at the wrist are rare and poorly understood. We report a case of an intraneural ganglion cyst at the level of the wrist.

conclusionsDiagnosis of an intraneural cyst before surgery is mostly based on ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. Transection of the articular branch is an important measure to prevent recurrence of this cyst. If the ulnar nerve is compressed and causes symptoms, nerve decompression, including removal/aspiration of the cyst, and sometimes external neurolysis of the nerve, are necessary to relieve the symptoms and allow regeneration of the nerve. However, these should be performed without damaging the nerve fascicles.
