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

Although lipomas are the most common benign soft tissue tumor, very few cases of true intra-articular lipomas have been described. They are usually small in size and located at the knee. The differential diagnosis of an intra-articular lipomatous mass is made between lipoma arborescens and synovial lipoma. We report a case of a true intra-articular lipoma of the knee in a 60-year-old woman who presented with knee pain and a large anteromedial mass. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the presence of a well-delineated fat-containing mass, and the lipoma was excised by a standard medial arthrotomy. After two years, the patient reported no limitation in her daily life.
