Guyon's canal resulting from lipoma: A case report and review of the literature.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2022. 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
introductionCompression of the ulnar nerve at the wrist is a rare condition. Clinical presentations of ulnar nerve compression at the wrist and hand can vary widely due to the complex anatomic course of ulnar nerve at the wrist. Lipoma is a common benign soft tissue tumor and rarely causes neuropathy. We present a rare case of Guyon's canal syndrome caused by lipoma. CASE REPORTS: We describe a case with acute ulnar nerve deficit. Clinical examination, EMG and MRI suggested Guyon's canal syndrome. Surgical exploration revealed a well-encapsulated fatty tumor within Guyon's canal. Histopathology demonstrated mature adipose tissue consistent with lipoma. Post-operative course was uneventful and the sensory symptom had subsided at the three month follow up. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionThere are many etiologies of Guyon's canal syndrome which can be classified into groups. Symptoms of ulnar nerve compression at the wrist can vary depend on the location of the lesion. Treatment options depend on severity and duration of symptoms, previous treatment attempts, and underlying etiology. Lipoma is not a common cause of Guyon's canal with few case reports in the literature. Surgery to open and release the roof of Guyon's canal and excision of the lipoma can yield good outcome in most reports.
