Verruciform Acral-Associated (Vacas) Xanthoma: Case Report and Review.

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
Verrucous xanthoma is a benign histiocytic lesion of macrophage derivation. We describe a woman with a non-mucosal verruciform xanthoma located on her right thumb and review the features of patients with verruciform acral-associated xanthoma. A 69-year-old woman presented with a lesion on her right thumb of eight years duration that had been previously treated with liquid nitrogen cryotherapy without resolution. An initial biopsy was consistent with the surface of a callous. A second biopsy demonstrated a verruciform xanthoma. The patient elected to apply lactic acid 12% twice daily and pare the lesion with a pumice stone once weekly; this resulted in flattening of the xanthoma-associated hyperkeratosis. Acral verruciform xanthoma has, albeit rarely, been described on the hands and feet of individuals. Including the patient in this report, six individuals have been reported with verrucous xanthoma on the hands and 12 individuals have been reported with a verrucous xanthoma on the feet. Verruciform xanthoma most commonly occurs on the oral mucosa. Genital lesions are also a frequent site. Acral-distributed verruciform xanthoma is rare; we propose that a verruciform xanthoma that occurs on acral sites be referred to as a verruciform acral-associated (Vacas) xanthoma.
