Coccygectomy without Soft Tissue Reduction for the Treatment of Coccygeal Pad.
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 was referred to our hospital with a congenital elevated lesion in the sacrococcygeal region, which measured 8 × 5 cm. Six months prior to presentation, the patient developed redness and pain in the lesion during cycling. Computed tomography revealed dorsal angulation of the 5th sacral segment (S5) and the 1st coccygeal segment (Cy1) and ventral angulation of Cy2 to 4th coccygeal segment (Cy4). Under general anesthesia, Cy1 to Cy4 were resected and S5 was flattened. Soft tissue and overlying tissue of the coccyx were not resected. At the 18-month follow-up, the patient exhibited no recurrence of the coccygeal pad (CCP) or associated pain. Pathologically, CCP consists of connective tissue. However, the coccyx deformity can cause subjective symptoms. This case suggests that coccygectomy without skin or soft tissue resection can be an effective treatment for CCP.
