Differential considerations of skin tumours with florid vascularisation: report of a solitary giant vascular eccrine spiradenoma.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The authors report the case of an 81-year-old male who presented with a 3-year-history of a bluish, nodular tumour located on the extensor side of his right forearm. Subjective symptoms included tenderness upon palpation and spontaneous haemorrhage. In order to exclude malignant neoplasms, for example, nodular melanoma, metastatic melanoma or angiosarcoma, the tumour was surgically removed and tissue submitted for microscopic examination. Histologically, the authors diagnosed this as giant vascular eccrine spiradenoma, a rare variant of eccrine spiradenoma, which can easily be mistaken for angiomatous lesions due to the haemorrhagic features and florid vascularisation. It is our aim to help clarify the diagnosis and differentiate giant vascular eccrine spiradenoma from other painful cutaneous tumours exhibiting a high degree of vascularisation, for example, angiosarcoma or venous thrombosis, as this case represents one of only seven found in published literature.
