Ectopic Pilonidal Disease Presenting As Anterior Leg Swelling in a Diabetic Patient: A Case Report.
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
Pilonidal sinus disease usually presents in the sacrococcygeal region. Its occurrence at nonsacrococcygeal sites, such as the lower limb, is exceedingly rare and may mimic other benign lesions. We present a 33-year-old man with an unusual presentation of a pilonidal sinus over his leg. Ectopic pilonidal disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic subcutaneous swellings, particularly when a punctum or sinus tract is present. Awareness of such atypical presentations ensures ectopic pilonidal disease is considered in the differential diagnosis for unusual anterior leg lesions.
