The Influence of Clinical Factors on Treatment Outcome and a Recurrence of Surgically Removed Protruded Subungual Osteochondroma and Subungual Exostosis.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundSubungual exostosis (SE) and subungual osteochondroma (SO) are benign solitary lesions that grow from the distal phalanx. The mass itself is typically painless, but pressure on the nail plate can result in pain and deformity of the involved digit. Tumors can be correctly diagnosed based on clinical, histological and radiographic appearance alone. Surgical resection of SE/SO is typically curative, with a small risk of recurrence.
methodsThe study was retrospective and observational, involving 74 patients with subungual SE/SO. The surgical procedure consisted of the removal of the tumor from the dorsal approach under digital anesthesia. The procedure was assessed using a questionnaire and photo documentation after a minimum of 6 months after surgery.
resultsA total of 85% of respondents were satisfied with the procedure. Nearly 80% of patients rated the cosmetic effect as good or very good. Young age and pain intensity after surgery showed statistically significant associations with worse satisfaction. Age < 18 was associated with recurrence.
conclusionsWorse satisfaction is strongly associated with recurrence. Gender, duration of symptoms, pain before surgery and tumor size and destruction of the nail plate had no significant effect on recurrence. The technique using burr appeared to be a more effective treatment.
