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

Key Clinical Message: We highlight the rare case of an atraumatic, intra-articular ganglion cyst of the lateral knee deep to the iliotibial band that was successfully treated nonoperatively, a pathology yet to be reported in orthopedic literature. Abstract: Ganglion cysts are mucin-filled synovial cysts commonly found on the dorsal surface of the hands and feet. Intra-articular ganglion cysts of the knee are rare, and when they present clinically, are typically treated operatively through arthroscopic surgery. We present the first reported case of an atraumatic intraarticular, extra-synovial ganglion cyst of the lateral knee located deep to the iliotibial band that was successfully treated without operative intervention through repeated intra-articular aspirations of the knee.
