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

casesCase 1 was a 58-year-old man who presented with an incidentally detected, slowly growing mass in the right hypochondrium area. An imaging study showed the mass arising from the 11th rib, with ill-defined margins and cortical destruction. Differential diagnoses included chondrosarcoma and metastatic malignant tumor. Open biopsy was associated with moderate bleeding (300 mL) despite small incision. Microscopic findings showed numerous irregular, dilated, and thin-walled vessels, consistent with the diagnosis of hemangioma of bone, and

conclusionWe reported two cases of rare hemangioma arising from the rib, which mimicked chondrosarcoma. The preoperative diagnosis was challenging, both clinically and radiologically. Because biopsy for hemangioma of the rib is associated with a bleeding risk, the
