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 54-year-old woman presented with an anterior neck subcutaneous tumor that had appeared one month prior. Mild tenderness was noted. As a diagnosis was difficult to make based on physical examination and ultrasonography, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan was performed. Both examinations revealed a 1-cm subcutaneous mass with well-defined margins; the MRI scan was hypointense on T1-weighted images and slightly hyperintense with low point foci on T2-weighted images. Subsequently, an excisional biopsy was performed, and the pathologic diagnosis of glomus tumor was obtained. Glomus tumors usually present as a painful subcutaneous mass beneath the nail bed but may be painless or occur in areas other than the fingers. Because glomus tumors in the neck resemble a variety of diseases, their diagnosis may be delayed. This case highlights the importance of considering glomus tumors as a potential cause of neck subcutaneous tumors.
