Atypical Sites of the Lipoma on the Hand and Fingers: Clinical and Imaging Features and Surgical Outcomes.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundLipomas are the most frequent benign soft tissue tumor that are rarely found in the hand and are exceptionally rare on the fingers. The aim of this study was to investigate lipomas of atypical locations, so that they can be taken into account when making a differential diagnosis of a tumor of the hand or fingers.
methodsWe studied a group of 27 patients diagnosed with lipoma of the wrist, palm, and fingers. The diagnosis was made by clinical and imaging examinations. Surgical treatment was established based on symptoms of pain, paresthesias, functional impairment, or aesthetic concerns. Treatment outcomes were assessed clinically at 1.5 years post-intervention.
resultsSizes over 5 cm were recorded in five cases, with the largest lipoma being 8 by 5 by 3.5 cm in size and weighing 125 g, located in the palm. There was one case of spontaneous tendon rupture and one case of carpal tunnel syndrome. There was no recurrence recorded at 1.5-year follow-up.
conclusionsLipomas in the palm and fingers are rare entities (with more men affected), and surgical treatment consists of complete removal of the tumor and providing definitive healing. Despite their rarity, clinicians should consider lipomas when making differential diagnoses of soft tissue tumors of the hand.
