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

We report the case of a 34-year-old woman with hypothenar pain due to a solitary neurofibroma (NF) of the ulnar nerve, with an extrafascicular location, outside Guyon canal, with no clinical evidence of associated neurologic impairment, who was successfully treated with surgical resection. The identification of this isolated tumor led to the diagnosis of a new genetic variant of neurofibromatosis type 1 after genome sequencing. At the 1-year follow-up, the patient remains asymptomatic without recurrence or other peripheral nerve sheath tumors. A solitary NF of a deep-seated nerve is extremely rare, especially in the context of neurofibromatosis type 1. To our knowledge, there are no reports of a NF of the ulnar nerve with an extraneural location. In the presence of a solitary NF related to a deep-seated peripheral nerve, neurofibromatosis type 1 should always be excluded.
