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

Background and aim: Subungual exostosis is a relatively uncommon benign ostecartilaginous lesion of the distal phalanx of the great toe, responsible for pain and nail deformity. Material: A case of subungual exostosis in a female patient is reported. Diagnosis was made performing clinical examination and plain foot radiographs. The treatment proposed was a complete surgical excision. Results: At the 9-month follow-up, there was no evidence of recurrence, and the patient was fully satisfied with the cosmetic and functional results. Conclusions: Subungual exostosis is a relatively rare condition which can cause pain and discomfort to the patient but, once correctly diagnosed, it can be successfully solved with a complete surgical excision.
