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

Nevus sebaceus (NS) and scalp whorl are both benign congenital findings that have not previously been reported to occur simultaneously. In most cases, the isolated finding of a single, classic-appearing NS or a single hair whorl can be followed clinically with observation. However, the number of lesions, distribution, and size of NS along with atypical placement of a scalp hair whorl can indicate an underlying syndrome or even underlying cranial abnormalities. We present a unique case of NS arising within a hair whorl on the vertex scalp of an otherwise healthy male neonate. After ultrasound showed no vascular malformations or proliferations and no cranial extension at the site, the lesion was later treated with surgical excision at six months old per the parents' preference, thus allowing for histologic confirmation of NS. Additionally, we discuss herein the diagnostic implications, recommendations for work-up, and treatment options of NS.
