Imaging findings of trichilemmal cyst and proliferating trichilemmal tumour.

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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of benign trichilemmal cysts and proliferating trichilemmal tumours.
methodsNineteen histologically confirmed cutaneous lesions with trichilemmal keratinisation (12 trichilemmal cysts and seven proliferating trichilemmal tumours) were enrolled. Among them, 10 lesions (six trichilemmal cysts and four proliferating trichilemmal tumours) were examined by computed tomography, while 13 lesions (eight trichilemmal cysts and five proliferating trichilemmal tumours) were examined by magnetic resonance imaging. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging characteristics were retrospectively reviewed.
resultsSixteen lesions (84%, 10 trichilemmal cysts and six proliferating trichilemmal tumours) occurred on the scalp. Lobulated margins were observed in five lesions (26%, three trichilemmal cysts and two proliferating trichilemmal tumours). With respect to computed tomography attenuation, calcification (>200 Hounsfield units) was observed in seven lesions (70%, five trichilemmal cysts and two proliferating trichilemmal tumours), hyperdense areas (≥80 and ≤200 Hounsfield units) in six (60%, three trichilemmal cysts and three proliferating trichilemmal tumours), and soft tissue density areas (<80 Hounsfield units) in nine (90%, five trichilemmal cysts and four proliferating trichilemmal tumours). On T1-weighted images, intratumoral hyperintensity was only observed in eight trichilemmal cysts but no proliferating trichilemmal tumours (100% vs. 0%,
conclusionTrichilemmal cysts and proliferating trichilemmal tumours predominantly occurred on the scalp with calcification, and usually exhibited linear or reticular T2 hypointensity. Intratumoral T1 hyperintensity may be a useful imaging feature for differentiating trichilemmal cysts from proliferating trichilemmal tumours.
