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

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare, benign metaphyseal bone tumour characterised by a combination of chondroid, myxoid, and fibrous elements. It can affect any bone at any age, with no gender predilection. We report a case of CMF in a 47-year-old female patient who presented with swelling of the left little finger at a tertiary care hospital in Kolkata, India, in 2024. Imaging revealed a lobulated lesion originating from the middle phalanx of the left little finger, extending to involve the base of the distal phalanx. Fine needle aspiration cytology indicated a moderately cellular myxoid lesion. Histopathology, which remains crucial for diagnosis, showed a lobulated tumour with zones of spindle to stellate cells, associated with an abundant myxoid and chondroid matrix in the intercellular spaces. Treatment involves complete local excision with tumour-free margins, as recurrence may occur with local curettage.
