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

Introduction: Extra skeletal chondromas are a subtype of chondroma that constitutes approximately 1.5% of soft tissue tumors; they do not affect the periosteum, cortex, or synovial tissue. They are frequently found in hands and are generally smaller than 3 cm in diameter; few cases are reported larger than 10 cm in diameter. Case Report: A 59-year-old female patient with a history of tumor of 12 cm in diameter in the interdigital region between the first and second of the left hand of 9 years of evolution with involvement of the thumb opposition, with magnetic resonance imaging findings with isointensity in T1 and hyperintensity in T2, without enhancement to gadolinium, She is taken to an excisional biopsy where there is evidence of adherence to the sensory branch of the median nerve, with report of extra skeletal chondroma pathology, with follow-up 1 year post-surgery with total recovery of functionality without evidence of recurrence, additionally tumor with clinical and imaging suggestive of enchondroma in the fifth finger of the left hand and in the frontal region. Conclusions: We present an unusual clinical case of extra skeletal chondroma of 12 cm in diameter with compromised mobility of the first finger and adherence to the sensory branch of the median nerve, accompanied by suggestive enchondromas in the fifth finger of the same hand and frontal region, without pathological findings of Ollier's disease, malignancy, or recurrence at 1 year of follow-up. We intend to highlight the importance and magnitude, to which extraskeletal chondromas can reach, without being considered benign tumors, they can have important effects due to their mechanical compression.
