Diffuse Neurofibroma in a Micronesian Male.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder, with variable clinical features, most commonly including café-au-lait macules and neurofibromas. The incidence of NF1 is approximately one in 3,000 individuals. Diffuse neurofibroma is the rarest subtype of neurofibromas. We present a case of a 39-year-old Micronesian male presenting with a substantially large and heavy overgrowth on his back, found to be consistent with diffuse neurofibroma on histopathologic examination. The patient also met the diagnostic criteria for NF1 based on clinical examination. Imaging showed the dermal and subcutaneous thickening without deep extension into the underlying fascial layer or muscles. A patient-centered, multidisciplinary approach was taken in the workup and management of this case. Our patient expressed disinterest in surgical interventions.
