Intramuscular Ganglion Cyst of the Extensor Digitorum Longus.

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
Background: Ganglion cyst is a mucin-filled synovial cyst. It is the most common mass found in the wrist and hand. However, it is less commonly encountered in the lower extremity and even rarer to be found intramuscularly. Case Presentation: A 34-year-old female presented for a symptomatic mass at the anterolateral left knee. Radiography revealed an intramuscular multiseptated cystic lesion within the extensor digitorum longus muscle. No definite solid components or enhancement of the lesion and no intra-articular extension or capsular communication were observed. Differential diagnosis included intraosseous myxoma and atypical ganglion cyst with inability to exclude malignancy. The patient underwent an open excisional biopsy that corresponded to a ganglion cyst on histopathological assessment. Conclusions: Intramuscular ganglion cysts are rare and underreported in the literature. A thorough differential diagnosis for lesions in uncommon anatomical locations is essential. Surgical excision with histological confirmation remains crucial for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes to rule out malignancy and prevent recurrence.
