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

Xanthoma typically occurs in the subcutaneous tissues, with rare cases of xanthoma in the joints. However, the case of knee joint osteonecrosis combined with xanthoma is even more uncommon. In this article, we described a 50-year-old female patient who suffered xanthoma in the knee joint on the basis of osteonecrosis of the knee joint. The primary clinical symptoms were knee joint pain and limited mobility. The patient initially received conventional treatment for osteonecrosis. However, there was no significant improvement. Later, we found a synovial xanthoma in the patient's knee. Finally, she underwent arthroscopic excision of the knee joint synovial xanthoma. Following the procedure, her VAS score decreased from 7 to 2, and knee joint mobility increased from 10-103° to 10-140°. Through our follow-up, the patient did not exhibit symptom recurrence. This case is valuable as it provides a feasible therapeutic approach for future clinical applications.
