Pyogenic granuloma-like Kaposi sarcoma presenting in an HIV-negative man who has sex with men.

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
A 36-year-old immunocompetent man who have sex with men first presented to the plastics team with an ulcerating lesion on his left first toe. The lesion was suggestive of pyogenic granuloma (PG) clinically and histologically. Two years later, the same patient presented to the dermatology clinic with a new erythematous lesion with intermittent bleeding on the left second toe. Clinically, this lesion was suggestive of another PG. However, the histology of the skin curettage revealed part of a PG merging with an atypical spindle cell proliferation with characteristic 'sieve-like' appearance in keeping with Kaposi sarcoma. This was confirmed with human herpesvirus-8 immunohistochemistry staining. PG-like Kaposi sarcoma is an uncommon variant of Kaposi sarcoma. Often not considered clinically or histologically, a deep skin biopsy is essential to establish the right diagnosis. Our case highlights the need to consider Kaposi sarcoma as a differential diagnosis in all patients, including HIV-negative individuals, presenting with PG-like lesions.
