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

backgroundBenign eccrine spiradenoma is a rare tumor arising from the sweat glands and is a pathology that is almost never encountered in routine neurosurgical practice. Although this is a rare pathology, it is one that should be included in the differential diagnosis for a patient presenting with a painful, subcutaneous mass, because it can guide further treatment considerations. OBSERVATIONS: The authors present a case of benign eccrine spiradenoma that mimicked a nerve sheath tumor in clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, and gross appearance. LESSONS: Complete local excision of these lesions is the gold standard treatment, because they are painful, and there are reports of local recurrence and malignant degeneration with incomplete resection. For this reason, neurosurgeons should be sure to include this in the differential diagnosis of a patient with a painful, subcutaneous mass, because it may help to guide management decisions.
