Enchondroma Protuberans of the Hand: A Rare Cartilaginous Tumor.

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
Introduction: Enchondroma protuberans (EP), a rare form of enchondroma with exophytic growth, differs radiographically from classical enchondromas and can mimic osteochondroma, periosteal chondroma, or chondrosarcoma. Proper differentiation is crucial to avoid unnecessary radical resection, as EP requires intralesional curettage rather than the surgical removal typical for osteochondromas. Case Report: A 14-year-old male presented with a progressively enlarging, painless mass on the lateral aspect of his left hand, initially noticed 4 years ago. Imaging and biopsy suggested osteochondroma, but histopathology confirmed enchondroma. Post-surgical excision and curettage, the patient reported no pain or limited range of motion at the 4-week follow-up. Conclusion: Accurate diagnosis and differentiation of EP, supported by detailed radiographic and histopathological evaluation, are crucial for timely surgical intervention to prevent malignant transformation and recurrence, highlighting the need for clinical awareness and precise diagnostic protocols.
