Clitoromegaly due to an epidermal inclusion cyst: A case report.
Article in Case reports in women's health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Clitoromegaly is often a sign of androgen excess; however, non-hormonal causes must be ruled out. We report the case of an adolescent with isolated clitoromegaly without clinical or biochemical evidence of hyperandrogenism. Case: A 16-year-old female was referred due to a clitoromegaly of 12 months of evolution. Examination of the pubic region revealed normal female genitalia with an enlarged clitoris, 4 cm long and 2.5 cm wide. The clitoris was painless, soft on palpation, and mobile over deeper layers. There were no signs of virilization, and the patient did not report dysuria or difficulties with sexual intercourse. Her medical record was also unremarkable, with no female circumcision, family history of birth defects, or genital abnormalities. Hormone profile blood tests were normal. Pelvic ultrasound examination was normal, but a high-resolution scan with a linear transducer confirmed the presence of a cyst, lying anterior to the clitoral body and glans. The cyst was surgically removed with special care to preserve the clitoral neurovasculature. The pathological report disclosed an epidermoid clitoral cyst. The patient described emotional well-being, satisfactory sexual function, and no discomfort after a year of follow-up. Conclusion: Epidermal clitoral cysts represent an unusual cause of clitoromegaly. These cysts should be ruled out as a differential diagnosis after an exhaustive semiological and endocrinological examination.
