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
Glomus tumors are rare, benign neoplasms of the finger, notorious for causing debilitating pain and significant diagnostic delays. We present the case of a 62-year-old female with a 15-year history of chronic, severe left index finger pain that was exacerbated by cold and pressure. Unusually, her pain radiated proximally to the shoulder, which contributed to a prolonged misdiagnosis. Despite a previously inconclusive MRI, a clinical diagnosis was made based on pathognomonic historical features. Surgical excision of a 1-mm subungual tumor provided immediate and complete symptomatic relief, with histopathology confirming the diagnosis of a glomus tumor. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges posed by glomus tumors, especially with atypical presentations such as referred pain. It underscores the primacy of clinical acumen over imaging in certain contexts and reinforces that surgical excision is curative, emphasizing the need for heightened clinical suspicion to prevent years of patient suffering.
