Atypical Presentation of Spitz Nevus: A Case Report.
Article in Skin appendage disorders, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: The Spitz nevus (SN) is an acquired melanocytic neoplasm composed of epithelioid and/or spindle cells, which tends to develop in childhood. In pediatric patients, it is usually located on the face and neck. Unusual locations have been found in the literature, such as the penis, mouth, and tongue, as well as 2 cases of ungual SN. Case Report: A 15-year-old male evaluated for dark brown-black longitudinal melanonychia that covered 40% of the nail, with pseudo-Hutchinson's sign, of 1 year of evolution. Discussion: The SN accounts for 1% of the melanocytic neoplasms. In the present paper, we show the third case of ungual SN never previously disclosed, which presents a zigzag pattern reported in the literature for its association with the pediatric population.
