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 53-year-old right-hand-dominant man presented with a recurrent, painful mass localized to the volar surface of the right small finger, leading to discomfort and impaired function. Radiographic imaging was unremarkable for osseous involvement. Surgical excision followed by histopathological and immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis established the diagnosis of angioleiomyoma, marked by desmin-positive smooth muscle fibers and CD34-positive vasculature. Given its infrequency in the hand and overlap with more common benign lesions, angioleiomyoma remains diagnostically elusive. This report emphasizes the pivotal role of tissue-based diagnostics and supports excision as a definitive treatment modality.
