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

backgroundIntravascular fasciitis (IVF) is a rare nodular fasciitis that often involves the layers and lumens of blood vessels; therefore, it is easily misdiagnosed as a malignant tumor with invasion into blood vessels. CASE SUMMARY: A 13-year-old boy was admitted due to a mass on the left side of his neck. Duplex ultrasonography revealed a circular solid hypoechoic mass in the external jugular vein, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an enhanced longitudinal mass-like lesion in the left supraclavicular fossa. Surgical treatment was arranged and completed, histopathological analysis showed a large amount of spindle cell proliferation, and immunohistochemistry showed that the spindle cells were positive for the expression of vimentin, caldesmon, and smooth muscle actin and negative for the expression of S-100 protein, desmin, CD34, and c-kit; Ki-67 staining revealed a low proliferative index (5%-10%), which confirmed the differentiation characteristics of myofibroblasts. Fluorescence in situ hybridization detected the rearrangement of USP6. IVF was subsequently diagnosed.

conclusionIVF is characterized by intraluminal, intramural and extramural involvement of small to large arteries or veins. Unless the doctor has a deep understanding of the disease or suspects that there is an initial indicator, IVF may be confused with other intravascular malignancies, leading to unnecessary radical surgery. Imaging examination combined with histopathological examination can improve the diagnostic accuracy of this disease.
