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

Myxoma is a rare benign mesenchymal neoplasm. Scrotal myxomas can be either cutaneous or intramuscular. Muscular myxomas are usually found in cardiac muscles and skeletal muscles of the extremities. The most common locations of cutaneous myxomas are the trunk, lower extremities, and the head and neck. However, these lesions can rarely arise in the genital area (vulva, mons pubis, and scrotum). The clinical presentation of this lesion is nonspecific, and it is difficult to make a diagnosis before a biopsy and microscopic examination. Scrotal myxomas are infrequent and can cause definite diagnostic problems.  We report a case of a 64-year-old male who presented to the surgery outpatient department with a history of scrotal swelling for 20 years. The swelling was excised and sent for histopathological examination. Histopathological examination revealed features of scrotal cutaneous myxoma.
