Ultrasound in the diagnosis and management of plantar fibromatosis (ledderhose disease): A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Plantar fibromatosis, also known as Ledderhose disease, is a rare benign fibroproliferative disorder of the plantar fascia, characterized by the development of slowly growing nodules that may become painful and functionally limiting. Although the diagnosis is often suspected clinically, imaging-particularly ultrasound-plays an important role in confirming the diagnosis and guiding management. We report the case of a 57-year-old man presenting with bilateral plantar nodules, in whom ultrasound enabled diagnostic confirmation and guided corticosteroid injection. Conservative management combining ultrasound-guided injection, custom orthotic insoles, and a targeted rehabilitation program resulted in complete pain relief and a reduction in nodule size at short-term follow-up. This case illustrates the diagnostic and interventional value of ultrasound in the nonsurgical management of plantar fibromatosis.
