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

Superficial venous aneurysms of the upper extremities are a rare clinical entity, often underdiagnosed and misinterpreted as other soft tissue masses. We present the case of a 28-year-old male patient with a subcutaneous mass on the dorsum of the left hand, diagnosed as a superficial venous aneurysm by high-resolution ultrasound using a probe bandwidth of up to 18 MHz, unchanged at three-month Doppler-ultrasound examination. This case highlights the fundamental role of high-frequency ultrasound in the differential diagnosis and conservative management of such lesions.
