Rare Benign Tumors and Tumor-like Lesions of the Hand without Skin Damage-Clinical, Imagistic and Histopathological Diagnosis, Retrospective Study.

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
backgroundThe broad spectrum of diagnoses and clinical features of hand tumors and the absence of pathognomonic signs often lead to an inaccurate or delayed diagnosis. However, only a few reports have comprehensively referenced the diagnosis and clinical features of hand tumors. This study intends to highlight the clinical, imaging and histological characteristics of uncommon hand tumors or tumor-like lesions.
methodsIn this retrospective study, we report a series of 80 patients diagnosed with rare hand tumors and tumor-like lesions without skin damage. Age, gender, tumor location, imaging examinations and clinical and laboratory findings were analyzed. The histopathological exam established the final diagnosis. Surgery was indicated and performed in all cases.
resultsThis study included: neurofibroma, glomus tumor, lipoma, schwannoma, epidermal inclusion cyst and idiopathic tenosynovitis with "rice bodies." We have described the clinical, imagistic and histopathological particularities of these tumors. Surgical management included the complete removal of tumors, with no recurrence recorded within two years and overall high patient satisfaction. The most common findings were lipomas and the rarest neurofibromas.
conclusionsTo optimize the care of hand tumors and reduce diagnostic and treatment errors, knowledge of hand tumor types and their clinical and laboratory characteristics is necessary for every surgeon.
