More Than Skin Deep: A Case of Nevus Sebaceous Associated With Basal Cell Carcinoma Transformation.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Nevus sebaceous is a congenital epidermal lesion that typically presents in infancy from the neck up and rarely undergoes malignant transformation. In patients who do present with malignancy, both RAS oncogene and PTCH tumor suppressor gene mutations have been implicated. We report an unusual case of nevus sebaceous in a 41-year-old male patient that developed into basal cell carcinoma on the forehead, and elaborate on the prolonged nature and unique location of its presentation. The case highlights the need for early intervention and how variable access to primary care can impact patient outcomes. We further explore the role of gene mutations in the circumstance that nevus sebaceous does become malignant, as well as pertinent differential diagnoses to consider.
