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.
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
Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the minimum 2-year functional outcomes, clinical scores and complications of patients in whom we performed open volar and dorsal ganglion cyst excision. Methods: Patients were divided into two groups based on cyst location: dorsal and volar. The surgical outcomes were analyzed, encompassing the size and localization of the cyst, wrist ROM (range of motion), VAS (visual analogue scale) for pain, QDASH (quick disability arm shoulder hand) questionnaire, and PRWE (patient rated wrist evaluation) scale. Additionally, complications and recurrence rates were examined. Results: A total of 53 patients were evaluated in the study, including 34 dorsal ganglion cysts (19 women, 56%) and 19 volar ganglion cysts (15 women, 79%). The mean age of the patients was 34.1 years (range: 18 to 68), and the mean follow-up period was 73.8 months (range: 26 to 136). The surgical duration was longer for volar cysts (p=0.01). For extension, the change in ROM was 3.9±6.3 degrees in volar cysts (p=0.01), whereas in dorsal cysts, this change was measured as 2.0±6.0 degrees (p=0.05). The increase in wrist flexion in the postoperative period was significantly higher in volar ganglion cysts (p<0.01). There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups for QDASH, PRWE, and VAS scores (p>0.05). Recurrence and complication rates were approximately 2-fold higher in volar cysts. Conclusion: Open surgical excision is a successful treatment method for wrist ganglion cysts based on middle and long-term outcomes, with high patient satisfaction and low recurrence and complication rates.
