Madelung disease: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
backgroundMadelung disease (MD) is a rare disorder of fat metabolism, resulting in diffuse, symmetrical and painless deposition of adipose tissue in subcutaneous superficial fascial space and/or deep fascia space of the head, neck and shoulders, CASE SUMMARY: We report a case of MD accompanied by type 2 diabetes in a 61-year-old Chinese male. The patient presented with progressive fat deposition over the mandible, neck, abdomen and elbows. He had a history of smoking and alcohol abuse. Excessive fat deposition was seen in the mandible, elbows and the abdominal area of the patient by ultrasonic examination. Computed tomography showed diffuse and marked soft masses (fat density) in the subcutaneous superficial fascia space of the neck. The patient was diagnosed with MD. He was advised to abstain from alcohol and was followed up regularly.
conclusionThis report discusses the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of MD, and raises the clinician's awareness of this disease.
