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

Venous adventitial cystic disease (VACD) is a rare condition. We describe two cases of unilateral lower-limb swelling due to a cystic mass compressing the common femoral vein (CFV) treated within a single vascular surgery unit. The first case was misdiagnosed as a lymphatic cyst preoperatively on both computed tomography and Doppler ultrasound. However, intraoperative findings suggested VACD, which was confirmed histopathologically. The second patient received the correct preoperative and postoperative VACD diagnoses. Both patients were successfully treated with surgical resection, with no complications during the postoperative follow-up.
