[Mucoid cysts at the distal interphalangeal joint of the finger : Excision technique including flap coverage].
Article in Operative Orthopadie und Traumatologie, 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
objectiveExcision of the cyst and, if necessary, reconstructive coverage. INDICATIONS: Thinned skin over the distal joint or at the proximal nail fold with the risk of perforation. Perforated mucoid cysts with discharge of mucoid material, with the risk of infection up to joint infection. Occasionally, the mucoid cyst content drains from the proximal nail fold, and even more rarely, it emerges under the nail. Nail growth disorders caused by a cyst sac overlying the proximal nail plate. CONTRAINDICATIONS: An existing infection requires at least simultaneous treatment of the infection, and possibly also of the joint infection. In cases of significantly painful distal joint osteoarthritis, simultaneous distal joint fusion should be considered. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Supine position with the pronated arm placed on the arm table. Digital nerve block anesthesia. Bloodless surgical field. Triangular excision of the thinned skin. If necessary, distal undermining of the skin and distal enucleation of the ganglion sac. Longitudinal incision towards the proximal end and dissecting the soft tissue envelope along the extensor aponeurosis. The skin should only be held back with a skin hook and not pinched with forceps. Excision of the joint capsule including the ganglion stalk and removal of osteophytes as needed. Flipping of the stretching flap and close-meshed skin suturing. Application of a stabilizing dressing and removal of the finger tab. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Keep the arm raised consistently. The stabilizing bandage should support wound healing for one week. Removal of stitches after 14 days.
