Morphologic Mimickers of Seborrheic Keratoses: Cutaneous Lesions Masquerading as Seborrheic Keratoses.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Seborrheic keratosis is an epithelial-derived benign neoplasm, which presents as a solitary tumor or multiple lesions. It is an acquired skin tumor that is frequently observed in older individuals. Benign neoplasms, as well as premalignant or malignant tumors, can mimic the clinical appearance of a seborrheic keratosis. A man presented with a chronic lesion on his abdomen that had changed in the color and size. The suspected diagnosis was a seborrheic keratosis. However, the microscopic evaluation of a biopsy tissue specimen established a diagnosis of a pigmented squamous cell carcinoma in situ. In addition to squamous cell carcinoma in situ and squamous cell carcinoma, other malignant tumors, premalignant lesions, and benign lesions can mimic a seborrheic keratosis. If a patient presents with a presumptive seborrheic keratosis that has changed in appearance and for which malignancy is also suspected, a biopsy may be helpful for diagnostic clarification to either confirm that the lesion is indeed a seborrheic keratosis or to establish the diagnosis of the lesion that mimics a seborrheic keratosis.
