Angiolipomatous Atypical Presentation of Dercum's Disease.
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
We describe the case of a 35-year-old man presenting with multiple painful soft tissue masses in bilateral upper extremities, the trunk, and groin. The patient had a prior history of painful lipomatosis in the left upper extremity with multiple masses removed without intraoperative or postoperative complications. Physical examination revealed multiple right upper extremity nodules that triggered reproducible pain upon palpation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the presence of multiple subcutaneous lipomatous masses with variable nonlipomatous internal signal in some of the masses. He was managed surgically, and 36 distinct subcutaneous soft tissue masses were resected across three operations. Histopathology following these resections revealed 13 angiolipomas, a rare finding for Dercum's disease, and 23 lipomas. This is the first reported case of Dercum's disease presenting with multiple angiolipomas in the absence of prior trauma to the affected region, distributed across multiple body regions rather than localized to one specific extremity.
