Pilar cyst on the dorsum of hand: A case report and review of literature.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
rationalePilar cyst mainly occurs on the scalp, but pilar cyst on the dorsum of hand has not been reported. Herein, we provide information to improve the clinical cognition of pilar cyst location. PATIENTS CONCERNS: A 76-year-old man presented with a round nodule on the opisthenar of his right hand for two months without any subjective symptoms. DIAGNOSES: Histological features of the lesion biopsy indicated the diagnosis of pilar cyst.
interventionsSurgical resection was made under local anesthesia. OUTCOMES: Complete recovery was achieved after surgery.
conclusionPilar cyst rarely occurs on the dorsum of hand and its diagnosis depends on histopathological examinations. Surgical resection is the only way to treat it.
