Clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical features of glomus tumor of the nail bed.
Article in Romanian journal of morphology and embryology = Revue roumaine de morphologie et embryologie. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purposeGlomus tumors account for 1-4% of benign hand tumors. In 65% of cases, it is located in the nail bed. Its rarity makes misdiagnosis problems relatively common. Symptomatology is characterized by the hallmark symptomatic triad. Imaging investigations may guide the diagnosis, but the diagnosis is made by pathological examination doubled by immunohistochemical (IHC) markers. PATIENTS, MATERIALS AND
methodsWe studied a group of seven female patients, aged 28 to 56 years. Clinical examination revealed the presence of the characteristic symptomatic triad. Ultrasound imaging tests were performed.
resultsAnatomopathological examination made a diagnosis of glomus tumor in all seven cases. IHC staining showed that tumor cells were positive for alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and h-caldesmon in all seven cases and negative for cluster of differentiation 34 (CD34) in 72.14%. IHC stainings for p63, S100, cytokeratin (CK) AE1∕AE3 were negative in all cases. The clinical diagnosis completed by ultrasonography was histopathologically confirmed in all cases.
conclusionsAlthough the glomus tumor is a rare lesion, we need to be familiar with it because a diagnostic delay also implies a treatment delay which will lead to amplified suffering and even real disability due to the high-intensity pain in these cases.
