An unusual case of B-cell lymphoma of the scalp.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
B-cell lymphoma is a lymphoproliferative non-Hodgkin lymphoma arising from B cells, a type of immune lymphocytes that produces antibodies in the follicles of lymph nodes. Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (PCBCL), a subtype of B cell lymphoma, originates within cutaneous tissue without evidence of extracutaneous involvement. There are very few reports of PCBCLs originating in the scalp. The most common tumors of the scalp are usually benign with only 1%-2% being malignant, most being basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or melanoma. Primary cutaneous follicular cell lymphoma (PCFCL) is regarded as the most common lymphoma of the skin with an indolent course and favorable prognosis due to the response rate to treatment methods such as surgical removal with local radiotherapy, topical drugs, and intralesional therapies. This report highlights a rare case of PCFCL originating in the scalp, to raise awareness of a topic that requires continued established management.
