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

Precoccygeal tumors are an uncommon group of heterogenous lesions ranging from benign simple cysts to complex malignant masses. Their nonspecific clinical presentations often make diagnosis difficult. Cross-sectional imaging, including computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), plays a critical role in their detection and characterization. Magnetic resonance imaging is considered the gold standard owing to its superior soft tissue resolution and detailed anatomical evaluation. Surgical excision remains the treatment of choice. Prognosis depends on the tumor's nature and completeness of resection. Herein, we present the case of a precoccygeal leiomyoma in a premenopausal female patient with episodic, deep-seated pelvic and anal pain that worsened during ovulation.
