Raynaud's Phenomenon After Fasciectomy for Dupuytren's Contracture: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Open fasciectomy is a widely accepted treatment for Dupuytren's contracture, with known complications such as vascular and nerve injury, stiffness, and recurrence. However, delayed vascular complications beyond these known risks remain largely unexplored. A 57-year-old nonsmoking man underwent open fasciectomy for Dupuytren's contracture of the little finger. Six months postoperatively, he developed Raynaud's phenomenon in the operated finger, characterized by cold-induced pallor that resolved with rewarming. Examination revealed sluggish circulation in the ulnar digital artery and altered sensation on the ulnar side of the digit. Conservative management with cold avoidance effectively prevented the recurrence of symptoms. This is the first reported case of Raynaud's phenomenon following fasciectomy for Dupuytren's contracture. Surgeons should be aware of this potential delayed complication, particularly in patients without traditional risk factors. Early recognition and patient education on cold avoidance can mitigate symptoms and improve postoperative outcomes.
