Ganglion Cyst at the Lateral Aspect of the First Metatarsophalangeal Joint: Dermatological Management With Punch Biopsy Excision.

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
Ganglion cysts are prevalent benign lesions originating from joint capsules or tendon sheaths, predominantly found in the wrist, while their presence on the toes is extremely rare. We report the case of a 27-year-old female who presented with a painless, mobile, rubbery nodule on the lateral aspect of the first metatarsal of the right foot. Generally, ganglion cysts in the foot are uncommon, and their development is thought to be associated with repetitive mechanical stress, leading to mucoid degeneration of collagen tissue. While conservative treatments such as aspiration and steroid injections exist, they have a high recurrence rate, making surgical excision the preferred option. This case highlights an unusual presentation of a ganglion cyst on the lateral aspect of the first metatarsal and emphasizes the importance of considering mechanical stress as a contributing factor. Punch biopsy excision provided a definitive, minimally invasive, and effective treatment, demonstrating excellent results with no recurrence noted during follow-up
