Cutaneous ultrasound of the nuchal-type fibroma: diagnostic clues and surgery planning.
Article in Journal of ultrasound, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Nuchal-type fibroma is a rare, benign tumour, arising from the connective tissue and characterized by their usual location in the posterior neck, although extra-nuchal locations may also occur. The excision of nuchal-type fibroma is curative, although it presents as a large poorly circumscribed lesion in the dermal and subcutaneous fat layer, with adipose tissue and muscle fascicles entrapment, what can lead to partial excisions and relapses. Due to its rarity, little is known about the sonographic appearances of nuchal-type fibroma. An early identification and correct extension evaluation is essential to facilitate adequate treatment. Through two clinical cases, we illustrate in this article the utility of cutaneous ultrasound in the early diagnosis of these tumours, highlighting its role in the diagnosis but also in the pre-surgical evaluation improving margins assessment and delimitation.
