Thumb-Sparing Surgery for Digital Papillary Adenocarcinoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Digital papillary adenocarcinoma (DPA) is a rare eccrine sweat gland tumor that often appears as a solitary, non-painful, gradually enlarging mass. Clinically, DPA presents considerable challenges due to its high likelihood of recurrence and its tendency to spread to the lymph nodes and lungs. This case report focuses on the surgical treatment of a unique case of DPA located on the dorsal thumb in a 46-year-old male. The patient initially underwent wide local excision with temporary wound coverage, and once final histopathological findings confirmed negative margins, a second procedure consisting of thumb interphalangeal joint fusion and first dorsal metacarpal artery flap coverage was performed. Eighteen months later, the patient continued to work in landscaping, performing the physically demanding tasks required by the job. This case demonstrates the feasibility of thumb preservation in the setting of soft tissue malignancy once negative margins are obtained.
