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 lipoma, which is composed of fatty tissue, is the most common benign soft-tissue tumor. Lipomata can develop anywhere in the body including the intermetatarsal space. The intermetatarsal space is filled by dorsal and plantar interossei muscles, and a lipoma in this space will extend outside this space as the tumor grows. Classically, lipoma is resected via an open approach, which may result in a lengthy disfiguring surgical scar. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the details of endoscopic en bloc resection of intermetatarsal lipoma. This minimally invasive approach can provide a whole block specimen for histologic examination and reduce tumor seeding as compared with endoscopic piecemeal resection of lipoma.
