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

This study reports a case of scar contracture on the volar side of the left little finger secondary to ruptured ganglion cyst in a 26-year-old female patient, which was misdiagnosed as Dupuytren's disease. The patient had a medical history of Hodgkin's lymphoma and received bleomycin chemotherapy, which may have accelerated the fibrotic process. Intraoperative findings were inconsistent with the preoperative diagnosis, and the final diagnosis was confirmed by pathological examination. Complete surgical resection successfully relieved the contracture. This case suggests that the etiology of subcutaneous scar contracture is complex. Comprehensive evaluation combined with patient medical history, medication history and pathological results is essential to achieve accurate diagnosis.
