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

The therapeutic algorithm for symptomatic Morton's syndrome is not standardized as several managements have been proposed. Ultrasound-guided alcohol injection (USGAI) is one of the non-operative procedures described. This report presents the case of digital ischemia that occurred after alcoholization for the treatment of Morton's syndrome. This complication is described for the first time in the scientific literature, and it should not only be added to the list of sequalae of USGAI, but more importantly, it should also be explained to the patient when this alternative treatment to traditional surgery is proposed.
