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

Cutaneous mixed tumour (CMT), also known as chondroid syringoma (CS), is a rare benign tumour composed of epithelial, myoepithelial, and mesenchymal components with an incidence of less than 0.01% of primary skin tumours. It is more common in males and typically presents as a painless slow-growing firm mass in the subcutis of the head and neck region. Genital regions are very rarely involved. We present the case of a 50-year-old male with a 10-year history of an asymptomatic gradually enlarging mass in the upper scrotum. A surgical excision was performed. Microscopic examination showed features of CMT. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with scrotal CMT and surgical management of these lesions. Additionally, we endorse the recommended terminology of CMT used by the fifth edition of WHO Classification of Skin Tumours (2023).
