Rare Entrapment of the Deep Peroneal Nerve by a Ganglion Cyst at the Ankle.

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
Entrapment of the deep peroneal nerve (DPN) is an uncommon yet clinically significant cause of lateral ankle and dorsal foot pain. Among its rare etiologies, ganglion cysts are often overlooked during initial assessments. We present a case of a 56-year-old woman who reported a six-month history of progressive, electric shock-like pain on the dorsum of her left foot, accompanied by a firm mass on the anterolateral ankle. The pain became constant after three months. A physical exam showed a slightly mobile mass and a positive Tinel sign around the DPN. An MRI revealed a cystic lesion compressing the nerve, which led to prompt surgical excision. During the surgery, a hemorrhagic ganglion cyst compressing the DPN was discovered and excised, and nerve decompression was performed. While uncommon, ganglion cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients exhibiting focal nerve symptoms and soft tissue masses. Timely surgical intervention might help prevent chronic neuropathy and promote functional restoration.
