Development of a tibial intraneural ganglion cyst after surgery on a peroneal intraneural ganglion in a pediatric patient: further support for the articular origin of intraneural ganglion cysts. Illustrative case.

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
backgroundThe articular origin of intraneural cysts has been previously described and well supported. Intraneural ganglion cysts most commonly occur in adults and in the common peroneal nerve arising from the anterior aspect of the superior tibiofibular joint (STFJ). OBSERVATIONS: The authors report a pediatric patient who developed a tibial intraneural cyst arising from the posterior aspect of the STFJ within months after surgical treatment of a peroneal intraneural cyst from the anterior aspect of the same joint. Surgery consisted of disconnecting the articular branch of the peroneal nerve and decompression of the cyst. Three-month postoperative magnetic resonance imaging showed resolution of the peroneal intraneural cyst and anterior compartment denervation but demonstrated a clinically occult small tibial intraneural ganglion cyst arising from the STFJ with popliteus muscle atrophy. LESSONS: This case underscores the importance of addressing the underlying etiology (articular synovitis) or the communication pathways (articular branches) whenever feasible to mitigate intraneural cyst recurrence. Furthermore, this report reinforces the validity of the articular theory. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24277.
