Proliferative flexor tenosynovitis in the index finger of a 10-year-old baseball player gloved hand: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2022. 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
Flexor tenosynovitis is rare in young children. This case report describes that of a 10-year-old boy with diffuse swelling of the left index finger, pain when catching a ball, and progressive inability for full flexing of the finger 2 months after starting baseball play. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a defined lesion with iso-signal intensity to muscle on T1-weighted imaging, and with high signal intensity to muscle on T2-weighted imaging. It was enhanced in T1-weighted fat suppression imaging with gadolinium enhancement. Surgical excision relieved the symptom. Histopathological findings mainly indicated proliferation of synoviocytes and plasma cell and lymphocyte infiltration. We speculated that the physical impact of the ball on the left index finger of his gloved hand during catching activated some immunological mechanism and thereby caused nonspecific tenosynovitis in this young baseball player. Awareness of this pathophysiology might raise confidence in proper diagnosis for assessing the swelling of fingers in young baseball players.
