A Rare Case of Verrucous Carcinoma and Trichoblastoma of the Neck: A Case Report and Literature Review.
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
Verrucous carcinoma (VC) is a variant of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. This phenomenon mainly affects the oropharynx, genitalia, and soles of the feet. VC is a well-defined, exophytic, cauliflower-like growth that is warty in nature. Trichoblastoma is a benign epithelial tumor composed of follicular germinative cells. It presents as a small, smooth, non-ulcerated, skin-colored nodule on the scalp, neck, thigh, and perianal regions. The dual presentation of verrucous carcinoma and trichoblastoma of the neck is rare. Though treatment can be achieved through surgical resection, early detection offers a good prognosis. We present the case of a 54-year-old homeless male who presented with an unusual neck mass that was initially misidentified as an abscess. Surgical debridement was performed, and histopathological analysis revealed the presence of a rare combination of VC and trichoblastoma. This report highlights the challenges of this rare presentation, which may be overlooked or misdiagnosed as an abscess.
