Recurrent Onychocryptosis Treated With the Winograd Procedure: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Onychocryptosis is a common disorder of the nail unit in which the nail plate penetrates the surrounding periungual soft tissue. This often results in pain, inflammation, and potential infection. While conservative and non-incisional surgical treatments such as partial nail avulsion with chemical matrixectomy are often effective, recurrence may occur and can significantly impact the patient's quality of life. Chronic or recurrent cases may therefore require more definitive surgical management. We present the case of a 22-year-old male patient with recurrent onychocryptosis of the right hallux following failed partial nail avulsion and phenol matrixectomy. The patient subsequently underwent incisional nail surgery using the Winograd procedure. Postoperative recovery was uncomplicated with the patient returning to normal footwear within two weeks. At the 12-month follow-up, the hallux was fully healed with no evidence of nail regrowth or recurrence. The patient reported complete resolution of symptoms and was highly satisfied with the outcome. This case demonstrates that surgical excision with partial matrixectomy using the Winograd technique can provide a safe and effective long-term solution for recurrent onychocryptosis when less invasive interventions have failed.
