Tubercular Palmar Ganglion Presenting as a Severe Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Tuberculous tenosynovitis is a rare condition predominantly found in developing countries that require prompt medical intervention. Due to its atypical presentation, diagnosis through biopsy and culture is necessary to distinguish it from other diseases. Compound palmar ganglion is an unusual manifestation that can cause swelling around the wrist joint and potentially compress the neural structures, resulting in carpal tunnel syndrome. Case Report: A 27-year-old female, homemaker complained of pain and tingling sensations in her right hand. Radiological analysis revealed juxta-articular osteopenia with soft tissue swelling. Magnetic resonance imaging identified a spongy soft tissue lesion compressing the median nerve over the flexor retinaculum of the right wrist. The decision was to surgically explore and excise the lesion along with carpal tunnel release. Histopathological examination confirmed tubercular tenosynovitis. Conclusion: Tubercular compound ganglion is a rare condition that must be kept in mind while treating patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, especially in developing countries where tuberculosis is prevalent. Delayed diagnosis is common due to gradual progression and subtle symptoms except for swelling. Surgical intervention and antitubercular treatment are crucial components of compound palmar ganglion management. Early diagnosis and management are essential for preventing complications.
