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

background/importanceThere are only 56 documented cases of intravascular fasciitis, a rare variant of nodular fasciitis. Of these cases, only 2 involved the scalp. This lesion is amenable to surgical resection, making it important to differentiate it from soft tissue malignancies of the scalp. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: We report an unusual case of intravascular fasciitis involving the scalp at the site of an intracranial pressure (ICP) monitor of a 13-year-old male patient. The lesion was surgically excised with no recurrence upon 1-month follow-up.

conclusionIntravascular fasciitis is a benign, reactive proliferation of soft tissue that may arise at sites of prior trauma. It appears as a soft, painless, mobile lesion, and immunohistochemical studies are required to differentiate it from malignant lesions. The standard of care is surgical resection of the lesion.
