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

(1) Background: Enchondroma is one of the most common primary tumors of the hand. Usually asymptomatic, it can present with pain, deformity, and sometimes pathologic fractures. Surgical treatment is advised in these cases. Curettage is the basic treatment, but there is no consensus in the literature regarding post-void filling. The aim of our study is to present simple curettage and early mobilization as a safe and effective treatment. (2) Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients treated at our center between 2020 and 2024. Each patient was treated with simple curettage and early mobilization. We collected demographic data and follow-up data. (3) Conclusions: We recorded no complications in our cohort, pointing out that our method is safe and reliable without any kind of immobilization. Bone grafts and other methods such as cement are good options but should be considered in specific cases.
