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

Fibroepithelial stromal polyps (FEPs) are benign skin tumors or lesions of mesenchymal and ectodermal origin, also referred to as acrochordons. Herein, we report the case of a 45-year-old woman with a large ulcerated fibroepithelial stromal polyp extending from the right labium of the vulva. No known predisposing factor was recorded to justify the presence and rapid growth of the polyp. Antibiotic treatment was given due to inflammation, and magnetic resonance imaging was useful in establishing a diagnosis. A wide surgical excision was performed, and a histopathological examination confirmed the initial diagnosis, revealing no nuclear atypia or mitoses. The patient recovered well, and follow-up after one year showed no evidence of complications or recurrence.
