Case Report: Dupuytren's Disease in a 12-Year-Old Child; Unusual Clinical Presentation.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic 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
Introduction: Dupuytren's disease is a progressive fibroproliferative disorder primarily affecting men over 40. Its occurrence in children is extremely rare, with fewer than 25 cases reported since 1955. Due to its rarity, it is often overlooked in pediatric patients presenting with palmar masses. The etiology in children remains unclear, and clinical presentation may differ from the adult form, sometimes mimicking other fibromatoses or even malignancies. Case Report: We report the case of a 12-year-old boy with a painful, progressively enlarging palmar mass. Examination revealed a firm subcutaneous nodule adherent to the palmar fascia, without digital contracture. Imaging suggested a tenosynovial cyst, but Dupuytren's disease was also considered, leading to surgical excision of the palmar fascia. Histopathology confirmed Dupuytren's disease, with fibroblastic proliferation and collagen deposition. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of considering Dupuytren's disease in children presenting with palmar masses. Given its rarity, awareness is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary interventions. Long-term follow-up is recommended, given the uncertain recurrence risk in pediatric patients.
