Madelung Disease Associated With Bilateral Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head: A Case Report of a Rare Disorder.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Madelung disease (MD) is a rare disorder of adipose tissue overgrowth characterized by symmetrical and progressive accumulation of nonencapsulated adipose tissue in the subcutaneous layer, mainly in the neck, arms, and upper back. In some cases, involvement of the torso, mammary area, and lower limbs is also reported. Typically painless, fat masses can cause negative effects like dysphagia, dysphonia, breathing challenges, and reduced neck mobility. The majority of individuals affected are men who consume alcohol excessively. Patients often opt for treatment for MD due to its cosmetic implications and metabolic complications. The disease's cause is not fully understood, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. Treatment is mainly surgical for cosmetic deformity or pressure symptoms.
