Enigmatic presentation of glomus tumour of the tongue: diagnostic insights.
Article in Ecancermedicalscience, 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
Glomus tumour is a soft tissue neoplasm that is associated with the subungual region owing to the presence of the glomus body. A 53-year-old female patient was referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology with the chief complaint of a swelling on the tongue of 3 months' duration. An ultrasound of the tongue suggested a vascular malformation. Histopathology revealed a well-defined proliferation of cells around blood vessels, surrounded by muscle and collagen fibres. A majority of the cells were clear with distinct nuclei. Some cells had an eosinophilic granular cytoplasm. Histopathology was augmented with immunohistochemistry to arrive at a diagnosis of glomus tumour of the tongue. The oral cavity is an unusual site for the occurrence of glomus tumour. This case emphasises the importance of a comprehensive diagnostic work-up in the diagnosis of swellings in the head and neck region, particularly in the context of rare tumours arising from cells that are not native to this site.
