Kimura's disease of the left arm.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Kimura's disease is a rare, benign entity that causes subcutaneous angioblastic lymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia. It usually presents with subcutaneous lymphoid swellings with regional lymphadenopathy and salivary gland masses. Kimura's disease is frequently associated with renal involvement, which includes proteinuria and nephrotic syndrome as the most common presentations. This report presents a case of a man in his early 20s with a swelling in the medial aspect of the distal left arm with two previous episodes of nephrotic syndrome. Multiple enlarged axillary lymph nodes and epitrochlear nodes were noted. Ultrasonography revealed a mixed echogenic mass with enlarged lymph nodes. MRI showed a heterogeneous hyperintense lesion. Image-guided fine-needle aspiration showed multiple lymphocytes and eosinophils suggestive of Kimura's disease. The swelling was surgically excised under general anaesthesia. Histopathology of the excised mass confirmed the diagnosis of Kimura's disease.
