Diagnosis and Treatment of a Forearm Glomangioma: A Case Study.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2025. 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
Introduction: Glomangiomas are rare vascular tumors derived from the vascular component of glomus bodies. Because glomus bodies play an important role in thermoregulation in the digits of the hand and foot, glomus tumors predominantly arise in these locations. Only six incidents of glomangiomas have arisen in the forearm since 1991. In nearly every case, the tumor was associated with extreme tenderness to palpation and pain with the use of the forearm. The diagnosis was delayed up to 21 years due to the low clinical suspicion of this type of tumor. However, eventual diagnosis and surgical management led to immediate resolution of pain in the forearm. Case Report: We report the diagnosis and treatment of a 52-year-old male who presented with a 5-year history of volar mid-forearm pain refractory to conservative treatment. Diagnostic evaluation with magnetic resonance imaging and histology identified the tumor as a glomangioma. Conclusion: Surgical excision completely resolved the patient's symptoms by the 2-week follow-up.
