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

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign vascular lesion that commonly occurs in the oral cavity during pregnancy, whereas cutaneous involvement of the hand is rare. I report a 33-year-old gravida 3 para 2 who presented at 39 weeks of gestation with a rapidly enlarging palmar mass measuring ~3 cm. The lesion became friable and interfered with hand function. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a well-defined exophytic lesion confined to the superficial tissues without deep involvement. Surgical excision was performed four weeks postpartum under local anesthesia with sedation. Histopathological examination confirmed lobular capillary hemangioma with focal ulceration, granulation tissue, and reactive epithelial changes; immunohistochemistry for HHV-8 was negative. The postoperative course was uneventful, and no recurrence was observed at eight-week follow-up.
