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

A rare disorder called congenital infiltrating lipomatosis of the face is characterized by a diffuse fatty infiltration of the soft tissues of the face. Muscle involvement and related bony hyperplasia may coexist. This particular form of lipomatous tumor is rare and typically appears in childhood. It is congenital in nature. Collections of mature, nonencapsulated lipocytes that infiltrate local tissues and frequently recur following surgery define congenital infiltrating lipomatosis, a unique clinicopathologic condition. The best modalities are, CT scan and MRI since they can determine the extent of the lesions and reveal their fat content. The treatment of this disease is surgical as soon as possible to restrict their infiltrative growth and improve the appearance of the face. We describe a case of massive facial invading lipoma that was investigated using MRI.
