Clinical Features and Association with Visceral Malignancy in 80 Patients with Sebaceous Neoplasms.

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
backgroundSebaceous neoplasm is a rare subgroup of appendageal tumors that differentiate towards sebaceous adnexal structures of the skin and are known to be associated with visceral malignancy.
objectiveWe aimed to analyze and compare the clinical data including the past history of associated visceral malignancy in patients with sebaceous carcinoma (SC) and benign sebaceous neoplasms (BSN), such as sebaceous adenomas and sebaceomas.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the cases of consecutive patients diagnosed with sebaceous neoplasms. Basic demographic data, past medical history, and clinical data regarding the size, location, and presence of associated visceral malignancies were evaluated.
resultsA total of 80 patients of sebaceous neoplasms (51 SC, 29 BSN) were included. A total of 18 associated visceral malignancies were found in 14 patients (8 SC, 6 BSN). Two patients were diagnosed with subsequent visceral malignancies during the primary work-up process for sebaceous neoplasms. The mean age at diagnosis of the visceral malignancies was 63.9 and 47.5 years for patients with SC and BSN, respectively. The most common site of visceral malignancies was the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Adenocarcinoma was the most common histologic type of the visceral malignancy noted.
conclusionWe observed associated visceral malignancies in 15.7% of patients with SC and 20.7% with BSN. Our results suggest a need for screening of visceral malignancies, especially of the GI tract, in patients with sebaceous neoplasms.
