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

Myopericytoma is a rare perivascular myoid neoplasm that typically arises in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue, with an intravascular variant also reported. We present a case of an elderly man with a subcutaneous nodule in his lower leg that had persisted for four decades, accompanied by pain in the last several years. Imaging revealed a 20-mm elongated subcutaneous nodule along with a similar intraosseous lesion in the ipsilateral fibula. Histologically, the subcutaneous lesion appeared as a multinodular, vascular-rich tumor, characterized by myoid spindle cells arranged concentrically around vessels of varying sizes. These myoid cells were immunoreactive for smooth muscle markers. Additionally, the tumor exhibited both a feeding artery and a draining vein, mimicking a vascular malformation. Another portion of the subcutaneous nodule was surrounded by a venous-type vascular structure. These findings supported a diagnosis of intravascular myopericytoma, with its extension possibly being myopericytomatosis.
