A Review of Soft Tissue and Nerve Masses in the Pediatric Hand: Pathology, Diagnosis, and Management Strategies.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Soft tissue and nerve masses of the pediatric hand, though often benign, prompt significant concern due to their visible location, potential for functional impact, and diagnostic uncertainty. Compared to adults, children demonstrate a distinct spectrum of hand lesions, with differences in prevalence, presentation, and pathology. Given the unique considerations in pediatric evaluation, including developmental anatomy and the importance of a child-appropriate approach to physical examination, clinicians must be equipped with a clear understanding of these lesions to guide appropriate management. This review synthesizes current literature on the pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of common pediatric hand masses, including cysts, lipomas, giant cell tumors, vascular tumors, and peripheral nerve lesions. By consolidating available evidence and expert recommendations, this article aims to support accurate clinical assessment and optimize care for pediatric patients presenting with soft tissue and nerve masses.
