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
introductionHere, we report a very rare case of chronic expanding hematoma presenting as a gradually enlarging subcutaneous pulsatile mass detected 24 years after a Konno procedure. CASE PRESENTATION: A 37-year-old man, who had undergone a Konno procedure at the age of 13 for severe aortic stenosis caused by a bicuspid aortic valve, presented with a pulsatile subcutaneous mass that had gradually increased in size over a 4-month period. CT revealed a large mediastinal mass compressing the right ventricular outflow tract, and a transthoracic echocardiogram showed an elevated pressure gradient between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery. Surgical resection of the mass and reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract were performed. The mass was completely excised, and the outflow tract was reconstructed using a short valved composite graft. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course.
conclusionsThis case underscores the importance of considering chronic expanding hematoma in the differential diagnosis of new pulsatile masses in patients with a history of cardiac surgery and demonstrates that timely surgical intervention can be performed safely and effectively.
