1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Congenital melanocytic nevi arise from overgrowth or disrupted migration of melanocyte precursor in the neural crest. They are also known as coat-sleeve, stocking, bathing trunk or garment nevi. The colour ranges from brown to black, with the lesions presenting as flat to raised nevi. Lesions presenting at birth with a diameter greater than 20cm are labelled giant congenital melanocytic nevi. Risk increases with an increase in the number of satellite lesions near the giant nevus. Management includes regular clinical follow-up monitoring of changes in the lesion and surgical procedures in cases with risk of melanoma and psychological support. The purpose of this case presentation is to describe a rare issue of giant congenital melanocytic nevi in a newborn, along with a literature review and discussion on possible management options.
