Management of Glomus Tumors: Experience From a Tertiary Care Centre in India.

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
backgroundGlomus tumors are uncommon soft tissue tumors that typically develop in the distal extremities, especially the finger's subungual area. Pain, soreness, and temperature intolerance, particularly cold sensitivity, make up its traditional clinical triad. There is a relative rarity in the literature on this topic, and we have analyzed and thereby discussed our experience in these cases.
methodsA retrospective cross-sectional study was performed at a tertiary care centre in Jammu, India. All patients diagnosed with glomus tumor from October 2022 to August 2024 were included in the study. Conventional radiographs, ultrasonography (USG), and MRI were the investigation modalities used for diagnosis. Tumors excised were sent for histopathological examination (HPE) for pathological diagnosis.
resultsA total of 11 cases of glomus tumor were diagnosed from October 2022 to August 2024, and the relevant demographic and clinical data were reported. Out of 11 cases, nine (81.8%) were located in the nail bed, while two (18.2%) were located in the volar pulp. Pain was present in almost all the cases, while a lump was visible in only one case of volar pulp tumor. There was a considerable delay in diagnosis in the majority of cases. There were no cases of recurrence.
conclusionDue to their rarity, glomus tumors are frequently overlooked by clinicians due to a lack of a strong index of suspicion, which typically results in treatment being delayed. Once identified, glomus tumors can be effectively treated with complete excision.
