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

Although lipomatous tumors are common, intra-articular occurrence is exceedingly rare and sparsely described in the literature. Regarding these rare entities, most are benign, progressively growing tumors and often occur in the knee, yet it is crucial to distinguish the less infrequent lipoma arborescens (LA) from the rarer synovial lipoma, as they differ in presentation and pathogenesis. Magnetic resonance imaging is the exam of choice in their assessment and in differential diagnosis, playing a central role nowadays. Excision and synovectomy, either arthroscopic or by arthrotomy, provide good outcomes with low recurrence rates. By reporting two surgically treated distinct cases of intra-articular lipomatous tumors of the knee, the authors intend to review the literature and discuss their etiology, clinical and imaging aspects as well as treatment approach.
