Multiple symmetric lipomatosis (Madelung disease) presenting as cervical lipomatous mass in a middle-aged male with alcohol use in Nepal: A Case Report.
Article in BMC surgery, 2026. 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
Multiple symmetric lipomatosis (MSL), or Madelung disease, is a rare disorder characterized by symmetrical, non-encapsulated adipose tissue deposition, predominantly involving the neck and upper trunk. It is strongly associated with chronic alcohol consumption.We report a 33-year-old male with a history of regular alcohol intake presenting with a progressively enlarging cervical mass. Imaging revealed bilateral, symmetrical lipomatous deposits consistent with MSL. The patient underwent surgical excision under general anesthesia with satisfactory cosmetic and functional outcomes.This report highlights the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and management of MSL, emphasizing the importance of early recognition. A short-term follow-up showed no recurrence; however, long-term surveillance and alcohol cessation remain essential to reduce recurrence risk.
