Seroma formation following percutaneous needle aponeurotomy and corticosteroid injection for Dupuytren's contracture: first case report in the literature.
Article in AME 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
Background: Dupuytren's contracture is a progressive fibroproliferative condition of the palmar fascia resulting in finger flexion deformities. Commonly reported complications following percutaneous needle aponeurotomy (PNA) may include skin tears, infections, nerve injuries, tendon lacerations and regional pain syndromes. Seroma formation is not known to develop following PNA, particularly when combined with corticosteroid injections (CSIs). Case Description: We describe the first documented case of an infected seroma following combined PNA and CSI in a 67-year-old female. A 67-year-old female developed a painless cystic lesion in her palm that she self-managed with compression following PNA and CSI. However, 6 weeks post-procedure, the cystic lesion progressed to infection, which resolved with oral antibiotics and drainage. No cases of seroma have been reported in studies evaluating corticosteroid-assisted PNA. Conclusions: This case highlights the importance of recognising infected seromas as a potential, albeit rare, post-procedural complication following corticosteroid-assisted PNA. Further investigation into risk factors and preventive measures is warranted.
