Lateral Surgical Approach for Subungual Glomus Tumors With Low Recurrence Rates: A Single-Center Case Series.
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
introductionGlomus tumors are rare benign mesenchymal neoplasms typically presenting as small, painful, blue-red nodules with cold sensitivity. Surgical excision with complete removal of the tumor capsule is the standard treatment for benign glomus tumors. Recurrence is uncommon but can occur if the tumor is not fully excised.
methodsThis retrospective, single-center case series includes a sample of 24 patients with glomus tumors treated surgically between 2017 and 2023 by the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Hospital Universitario Dr. José Eleuterio González, Monterrey, Mexico.
resultsGlomus tumors were more common in women (n=18, 75%), and affected the left hand in 17 cases (70.8%) and the subungual region in 11 cases (45.8%). The thumb and index digits were the most frequently affected, while the third and fifth were the least. The average duration of symptoms before diagnosis was 2.9 years. A single case had a history of recurrence, in which the participant had been previously treated at another facility before we performed the second resection.
conclusionA lateral surgical approach with careful matriectomy was effective in most cases, with minimal recurrence. The case with previous recurrence underscores the importance of complete excision.
