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

Herein, we report an unusual presentation of a 38-year-old heathy lady with a painless slowly growing lesion in the volar aspect of her left distal forearm reaching the thenar area for >15 years. Magnetic resonance imaging of the lesion showed multilobulated soft tissue mass with low and high signal in T1- and T2-weighted images with homogenous contrast enhancement. Additionally, a stable serpiginous bony lesion was noted in the first metacarpal bone showing low T1 and high T2 signals with peripheral enhancement. Histopathological examination was consistent with cylindroma and enchondroma, respectively. The patient had full recovery with no recurrence at a 1-year follow-up visit. While enchondroma is the most common benign tumor of the hand, sporadic dermal cylindroma, in contrast, rarely affects the upper extremity. The coexistence of these two pathological entities was not previously reported and it may complicate the diagnosis.
