Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of the Distal Phalanx: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of hand surgery global online, 2027. 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
Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are rare benign bone lesions, infrequently affecting the hand and exceptionally rare in the distal phalanx. Here, we present a unique case involving a woman aged 33 years who presented with progressive swelling and erythema of the distal phalanx of the right index finger. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated features suggestive of ABC, whereas plain radiographs were inconclusive. The patient underwent surgical excision and curettage through a volar approach, preserving the phalanx. Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis, and no adjuvant therapy was administered. At the 4-year follow-up, the patient exhibited a full range of motion, no pain, and no signs of recurrence. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of distal phalanx ABC in a finger treated with phalanx preservation rather than amputation. This case highlights the importance of including ABC in the differential diagnosis of hand tumors and supports the potential for conservative surgical management.
