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

backgroundFibrous hamartoma of infancy (FHI) is a rare disease of infancy with unknown etiology. The disease mainly involves soft tissue, has no specific clinical manifestations, and is difficult to diagnose. At present, the diagnosis is mainly confirmed by histopathological examination, and the main treatment is surgical resection of the pathological tissue, which is prone to recurrence. CASE SUMMARY: A five-month-old female patient was admitted to our hospital with swelling in the right calf. Two biopsies were performed in our hospital and another hospital, respectively, confirming the diagnosis as fibrous hamartoma. After exclusion of surgical contraindications, resection was performed with clear margins of 1 cm. Radiographic examination showed tumor recurrence more than four months after the operation, and surgery was performed again to extend the resection margins to 1.5 cm. The patient is recovering well, and after a follow-up of 36 mo, shows no signs of recurrence.

conclusionOur case report demonstrates that FHI should be considered in the differential diagnosis for a lower extremity mass with bone destruction. For FHI with bone destruction and unclear boundaries, excision margins of 1.5 cm could be superior to margins of 1 cm.
