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 range of neoplastic, inflammatory, traumatic, and degenerative pathologies may present with a mass in the thenar eminence. Vascular leiomyomas are infrequent benign soft-tissue neoplasms originating from the tunica media layer of venous wall vascular walls. Classically, vascular leiomyoma is treated by complete marginal excision with very rare recurrence rates after surgery. However, open surgery may result in a lengthy, disfiguring surgical scar. Endoscopic en-bloc tumor resection is a minimally invasive approach and can provide a whole block specimen for histologic examination. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the details of endoscopic-assisted en-bloc resection of thenar vascular leiomyoma. This minimally invasive approach can provide a whole block specimen for histologic examination and reduce tumor seeding as compared with endoscopic piecemeal resection of vascular leiomyoma.
