Glomus tumor of the patellar tendon: a case report and review of the literature.
Review in Journal of medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundA rare finding, the glomus tumor is made up of cells that resemble modified smooth muscle cells. It usually arises in the deep dermis of the palms and the wrists. However, it can still appear in atypical places such as the knee presenting with atypical symptoms. CASE REPORT: This case report is about a 43-year-old previously healthy Middle Eastern male with a glomus tumor of the distal portion of the patellar tendon presenting as continuous dull pain of the right knee for the previous 2 years.
conclusionGlomus tumor, a mostly benign lesion usually found in subungual area in the hand, can be found in the knee as well. It can be diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging, appearing bright on T2-weighted images with diffuse enhancement following gadolinium injection and as a well-defined dark lesion on T1-weighted images. Histological examination remains the only confirmatory diagnosis, showing sheets and clusters of homogeneous glomus cells encircling arteries.
