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

Masson's tumor, also known as intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), is a rare benign vascular lesion of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. It represents the organization and recanalization of a thrombus within a normal vessel, vascular malformation, or hematoma. Although it can occur in any part of the body, its presence in the hand can be particularly challenging to differentiate from other soft-tissue lesions. We present a case of Masson's tumor located in the distal phalanx of the thumb. Initial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination suggested a giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath; however, following surgical excision, histopathological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of Masson's tumor. This case highlights the critical importance of histopathological examination, as Masson's tumor can closely mimic other soft-tissue lesions.
