Beyond the Usual Suspects: Recognizing Calcified Chondroid Mesenchymal Neoplasm in Hand Soft Tissue Tumors.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 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 69-year-old man presented for evaluation of a slow-growing, uncomfortable mass on his left index finger. The mass was clinically concerning for a tenosynovial giant cell tumor and was excised after magnetic resonance imaging showed a well-circumscribed, enhancing subcutaneous mass next to the flexor tendons of the left index finger. Pathological analysis of the excised mass revealed a multinodular, calcified chondroid mesenchymal neoplasm (CCMN), which is a rare soft tissue tumor that was recently described and is characterized by chondroid matrix production and recurrent FN1-receptor tyrosine kinase gene fusions. Molecular testing confirmed an FN1::FGFR1 fusion, supporting the diagnosis of CCMN. CCMN is an important entity for hand surgeons and pathologists to consider because it may present in the distal extremities, especially the fingers, and its behavior is indolent when compared with other chondroid soft tissue tumors that may necessitate more aggressive treatment. This case highlights the importance of integrating clinical, radiological, histopathologic, and molecular data to accurately diagnose CCMN and avoid misclassification as more aggressive neoplasms.
