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

introductionIntrasynovial hemangioma, a rare benign vascular lesion of joint cavities, is also called intrasynovial papillary endothelial hyperplasia or Masson's hemangioma (MH). These lesions are characterized by abnormal proliferation of endothelial cells with mild atypia with an organized thrombus. MH follows an individualized protocol for its management. CASE REPORT: A 22-year-old male gave a 10-year history of the diagnosed and operated (arthroscopically) case of synovial hemangioma of the left knee and presented with similar complaints. There was no history of trauma or infection over the left knee. The movements of the left knee were normal except with terminal restriction of movements. MRI of the left knee suggested intrasynovial low flow vascular malformation within the substance of the synovium. The patient underwent synovectomy of the hemangiomatous lesion in toto without any recurrence in the follow-up period for 8 months. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia/MH.

conclusionAlthough intrasynovial hemangioma is a very rare clinical entity, Orthopedic surgeons should have a high index of suspicion for MH, when a long-standing pain and hemarthrosis of the knee joint is being encountered in the clinical practice.
