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

Baker's cysts, also known as popliteal cysts, are fluid-filled sacs that are found in the posterior region of the knee, behind the medial head of the gastrocnemius and the semimembranosus. The prevalence has been found to increase with age, with some ultrasonographic studies showing a prevalence as high as 25% of adults with knee pain. We discuss an interesting case of a 14-year- old male with a ruptured cyst found to be secondary to Lyme disease. The patient was treated with clindamycin and his symptoms had resolved. We discuss cases of ruptured baker's cysts in the literature found to be secondary to Lyme disease with their respective treatments and outcomes.
