A Pediatric Patient with Thumb Hypertrophy and Schwannoma: Possibility of a Congenital Condition.
Article in Journal of plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2026. 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 15-year-old male patient presented with an enlargement of his right thumb. The thumb had an atypical morphology characterized by a hypertrophic tip and a concave pulp. His parents had noticed this deformity since he was an infant. As the patient grew older, he began to feel tenderness in the hypertrophic region. We thought that this condition could be congenital and attributed the origin of the tenderness to decreased fat tissue in the pulp. We planned surgery to excise the skin on the concave part and augment the bulk there with a flap from the distal hypertrophic part. Intraoperatively, a solid subcutaneous tumor was found in the distal hypertrophic region. Pathological examination confirmed that the tumor was a schwannoma. Postoperatively, the tenderness resolved and the appearance of the thumb improved. This case is very atypical; information on this condition is lacking in the literature.
