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

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), often referred to as Masson's Tumor, is an uncommon yet benign vascular disease of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. It usually arises within a blood vessel, but is considered to be a non-neoplastic reactive endothelial proliferation commonly associated with vascular injury. Although it is rare, knowledge of this disease is important as it may mimic other benign and malignant tumors, especially angiosarcoma, which may lead to unnecessary aggressive management. Typically, IPEHs are asymptomatic and are slow growing soft-tissue masses with extremely low-recurrence rates. In this article, we describe a 19-year-old male with a recurrence of Masson's Tumor over the right little finger within 2 months of a routine excision of the lesion. We also present accompanying multimodality clinical, radiological, and pathological imaging. This case illustrates the innocuous nature of the initial lesion easily mistaken for a hemangioma. Awareness of the possibility of a recurrence of a Masson's Tumor is important for clinicians to rule out the presence of malignant vascular lesions.
