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

Spontaneous intramuscular haematoma of the triceps muscle has the potential to pose significant diagnostic and management challenges. We report the case of a 42-year-old man presenting with acute non-traumatic right upper limb pain and a palpable posteromedial mass. He was receiving antiplatelet therapy for a previous transient ischemic attack. Examination revealed a tender mass on his triceps region with mild ulnar sensory deficit. Imaging demonstrated a well-defined cystic lesion; however, malignancy could not be excluded. Ultrasound-guided aspiration subsequently confirmed a haemorrhagic collection consistent with a haematoma. The patient was managed conservatively with planned radiological follow-up. This case highlights the importance of considering spontaneous haematoma in patients presenting with atraumatic soft tissue masses, particularly those on antithrombotic therapy. Careful imaging, histological evaluation when indicated, and appropriate follow-up are critical to exclude malignancy and guide management.
