A Spindle Cell Tumor in Disguise: Histoid Nodules Arising From Peripheral Nerves.
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
A 25-year-old male presented with multiple, painless subcutaneous nodules, each measuring 5-6 mm, attached to thickened superficial cutaneous nerves. He also had nodular infiltration of the left earlobe. Histopathology revealed spindle-shaped histiocytes in a storiform pattern, with numerous acid-fast bacilli in Fite-Faraco staining. Skin slit smear from the nodule revealed a bacteriological index of +6. Ultrasonography of the nodule revealed a well-defined, avascular, heterogenous hypoechoic lesion over a focally thickened nerve with loss of fibrillary pattern, confirming a rare form of neural histoid leprosy.
