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
Sebaceoma is a rare benign sebaceous tumor that usually occurs on the face and scalp. We report a case of a 3-mm solitary pink papule on the nose in an elderly woman. Dermoscopic examination showed yellow-pinkish background with a central yellow homogeneous structure, peripheral branching vessels (crown vessels), and scattered gray or reddish-brown irregular areas. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) revealed tumor islands with massive dendritic cells and scattered bright fine granules in the dermis, a suspicious palisading arrangement at the periphery, and there seemed to be peritumoral dark spaces. The combined dermoscopic and RCM examination were highly suspicious for the diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), so the lesion was excised completely, but was eventually diagnosed as sebaceoma by histopathology. This case suggests that there are some overlaps in both dermoscopic and RCM features between sebaceoma and BCC. The application of dermoscopy and RCM to the diagnosis of sebaceoma is challenging, further studies are needed in this field.
