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

Popliteal cysts, also termed Baker's cysts, are clinically common cystic lesions in the popliteal fossa. Typically, the contents of a ruptured cyst tend to spread into the myofascial interfaces in any direction, most commonly inferomedially or into a palpable superficial position. However, to our knowledge, reports of Baker's cysts dissecting into the deep intermuscular septum of the lower calf are extremely rare. We present here the details of the successful treatment through arthroscopy combined with lower calf incision of a patient who sustained hematoma of the knee and lower calf secondary to Baker's cyst rupture. Given the rarity of this disease in China, we present this case report to improve our understanding of the disease and avoid misdiagnosis and provide evidence for its clinical treatment, management, and prognosis.
