Isolated Elastofibroma of the Thigh: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
A 55-year-old female presented with elastofibroma of the thigh. On presentation, she complained of a palpable, painful mass on the anterolateral right thigh that had been present for one year. She had a history of surgery for a right femur fracture. On MRI, a soft-tissue mass was seen in the vastus intermedius muscle, as a heterogeneous lesion with streaky fatty and fibrous components. The fibrous component was isointense to the muscle, and the fatty component had a high signal on both T1- and T2-weighted images. Histopathological analysis after biopsy established the diagnosis of elastofibroma.
