Persistent finger discomfort: Glomus tumor-a case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Glomus tumors are rare benign hamartomas, primarily small growths, found in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue, arising from modified glomus cells, which are distributed throughout the body, with a particularly high concentration in the subungual area of the fingers. This case reports a middle-aged man with persistent pain in the tip of his left ring finger for the past 5 years. With ideal imaging, the tumor was identified and surgically excised, and the patient is currently asymptomatic. Despite its presentation as a faint bluish-purple papule with the classic triad of cold hypersensitivity, paroxysmal pain, and point tenderness, it is often missed by clinicians and diagnosed late. With magnetic resonance imaging being the gold standard, the only resolution to pain relief is the complete excision of the tumor. Glomus tumors have been defined and estimated to be a few but significant part of hand tumors; however, in Africa, the prevalence is minimal and clinicians may be unaware of the presentation.
