Post-traumatic Epidermal Inclusion Cyst of the Index Finger: A Surgical 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
Epidermoid cysts of the distal phalanx have rarely been reported in practice, although they are known to occur following penetrating trauma and pressure erosion. Notably, the distinction between epidermoid and dermoid cysts is unclear, with both terms being used interchangeably. However, epidermoid cysts are more commonly documented in the literature. We describe the case of a carpenter in his 40s presenting with a lesion on the distal phalanx of his left index finger following a history of trauma to the same area two years ago. This was presumed to be an abscess and incision and drainage were planned. A keratinous epidermoid cyst was diagnosed through histopathological study of the thick-walled cystic structure isolated after dissection. The lesion resolved successfully and healing was uneventful. This report contributes valuable insights into the diagnosis and management of epidermoid cysts of the fingers post-trauma, an underexplored topic in the existing literature.
