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

Poland syndrome (PS), an uncommon congenital unilateral aplasia of chest wall muscles, may exhibit rare accompanying signs, such as axillary webbing or contractures. The existing literature on the specific management of axillary contractures is limited. In this report, we present the case of a 10-year-old girl with PS manifesting an axillary web containing a fibrous band, which was successfully surgically corrected by a double-opposing Z-plasty. Our surgical approach entailed a meticulous distinction between the deep fibrous band and the superficial cutaneous layer, guided by histopathological findings that indicated the presence of tendon-like tissue, ultimately yielding excellent outcomes. This report will help expand knowledge by highlighting the unique manifestation of PS and emphasizing the importance of employing appropriate treatment approaches. Moreover, addressing both tendon and skin components is essential for optimal contracture release in PS.
