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

Intraneural vascular anomalies are rarely encountered specimens as these are not commonly resected. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the histologic findings in an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) within a digital nerve. We report a rare case of an 18-year-old man with a painful mass in the left hand and middle finger who was referred to our hospital for a treatment strategy consultation. According to Schobinger's clinical classification, the patient was diagnosed with Early-Stage 3 AVMs of the left hand and was followed up for approximately 1 year. Due to increasing pain and dark purple discoloration of the finger, the AVM on the left middle finger was removed en bloc, including the skin, subcutaneous fat, and digital nerve, leaving the tendon and the periosteum. Histology revealed the abnormal vasculature of the AVM within the digital nerve and adjacent subcutaneous fibroadipose tissue. Histologically, two patterns of nerve involvement were recognized: arterioles that pushed into the nerve fascicle in a non-destructive manner, compressing the perineurium, and numerous microvessels in the endoneurium surrounded by microvascular proliferation found on the outside of the perineurium. The presence of intraneural abnormal vessels suggested that one cause of AVM pain was neuropathic.
