Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Nail Unit: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of hand surgery global online, 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
We report an 83-year-old woman who presented to her primary care provider with pain and swelling of her left thumb distal phalanx for 1 week. Initial imaging was benign. The patient underwent treatment for presumed soft tissue infection with 2 separate oral antibiotic courses. An intralesional corticosteroid injection did not provide relief and repeat radiographs showed a destructive lesion to the tuft of the distal phalanx. Advanced imaging showed bony destruction and biopsy revealed invasive squamous cell carcinoma involving the nail plate with bony invasion. Amputation through the interphalangeal joint of the left thumb was conducted with disease-free margins. The patient currently is following with oncology for clinical surveillance. Given this entity's rarity, either persistent or recurrent nail unit disease must be investigated thoroughly with early referral to a surgical hand specialist as appropriate.
