Retrospective Study of Morton's Neuroma: Clinical, Paraclinical, and Therapeutic Assessment of 10 Cases.

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
Background Morton's neuroma is a common cause of forefoot pain, typically occurring in the third metatarsal space and characterized by symptomatic nerve compression. This condition often leads to significant functional impairment, affecting weight-bearing activities and limiting appropriate footwear due to pain and discomfort. Objective This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of conservative interventional treatment for Morton's neuroma, specifically focusing on corticosteroid injections. Methodology We reviewed 10 cases of Morton's neuroma in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation. The average age of the patients was 45 years, with a higher prevalence among females. Diagnoses were confirmed through clinical assessment and ultrasound imaging. Results All 10 patients (100%) received conservative interventional treatment with corticosteroid injections. This approach effectively alleviated symptoms in 9 out of 10 patients (90%). Surgical options were considered only if symptoms did not improve with this treatment. Conclusions All 10 patients (100%) were treated with corticosteroid injections, which alleviated symptoms in 9 out of 10 patients (90%). Surgical options were considered only if this treatment was insufficient. This analysis highlights the effectiveness of this approach as a first-line management strategy for Morton's neuroma.
