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

Aim of the study: Intraneural ganglion cysts are a relatively uncommon type of ganglion cyst that can affect peripheral nerves. They are particularly rare in the upper limb, and even more so in the median nerve, with the vast majority of them occurring in the peroneal nerves. This paper aims to make the reader aware of this relatively uncommon condition. Case description: We report a case of a 41-year-old male who presented with a gradually progressing mass on the volar aspect of the wrist extending to the index finger. The nonspecific presentation as well as the rarity of the condition may make diagnosis challenging. The patient was referred for surgical management under a specialist peripheral nerve hand surgeon. Conclusions: Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging as well as awareness of the typical imaging features of this entity are crucial in making the correct diagnosis as well as excluding other potential considerations such as neoplasm.
