Lipoma in uncommon site: A case report of finger lipoma from Nepal.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionLipomas are the most common benign mesenchymal tumors, making up 50 % of soft tissue tumors. However, while they frequently occur in areas like the head, neck, shoulders, and back, lipomas in the hands and wrists are rare, particularly in the fingers where they are exceptionally uncommon. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of 62-year-old female presented with a six-year history of a gradually enlarging, painful swelling on the palmar aspect at the base of her left index finger. Examination revealed a soft, fluctuating, 3 cm × 2 cm swelling. USG and MRI suspected it to be a lipoma. The lesion was excised, and histopathology confirmed a benign lipoma. DISCUSSION: Lipomas, derived from mesenchymal preadipocytes, often have genetic and metabolic links, including in individuals with obesity, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. While typically asymptomatic, lipomas in the hands and fingers can cause pain and impairment, necessitating surgical resection. Accurate diagnosis may require imaging, and treatment yields favourable outcomes with low recurrence rates.
conclusionDespite their rarity, lipomas in the hands and fingers should be considered when evaluating non-discharging swellings. Surgical resection is the primary treatment.
