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

Cylindroma, a benign skin appendage tumor, mostly occurs in the head and neck region. They present as pink to purple, smooth-surfaced, solitary or multiple nodular lesions, mostly affecting middle-aged and elderly women. A clinical diagnosis of cylindroma is unusual but must be considered clinically. We report an unusual case of solitary benign dermal cylindroma that occurred in an uncommon site in a 54-year-old female. She came with complaints of painful swelling on the left side of her chest wall for six months. Histopathological examination of the mass revealed a well-defined tumor composed of nests and islands of a dual population of tumor cells surrounded by pink basement membrane-like material. These nests of cells are arranged in a "jigsaw" puzzle fashion, which is typical of cutaneous cylindroma. The thick pink material surrounding the epithelial cell islands is periodic acid Schiff stain (PAS) positive.
