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

Introduction: Epithelioid hemangioma (EH) is an intermediate locally aggressive tumor that consists of epithelioid cells and endothelial cell differentiation, which can occur at any age, but is most common between the ages of 30 and 40 years. EH in the thoracic spine is rare, and accurate diagnosis is critical to treatment planning. Our aim was to explore the imaging and clinical data of thoracic spine EH to improve the understanding of this rare disease. Methods: From January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2023, a database of thoracic spine masses was retrospectively reviewed. Five patients with histologically proven thoracic spine EH and complete imaging available were identified and analyzed. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were evaluated separately by two radiologists with more than 10 years of experience. Positron emission tomography (PET)/CT was conducted by two nuclear medicine diagnostic technologists with at least 5 years of experience. Results: The patients included three male and two female patients aged 23 to 56 years (mean age was 38.4 ± 14.3 years). All patients underwent CT, MRI, and Conclusions: CT, MRI, and
