Acquired Lymphangioma Circumscriptum of the Scrotum: A Case Report.

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
Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is an uncommon malformation affecting the skin and subcutaneous tissue. This report documents a case of LC that developed in the scrotum of a 35-year-old male. Upon examination, numerous clusters of clear vesicles were found on the scrotum's surface. The patient had no previous exposure to infections, trauma, surgery, or radiation treatment. A skin biopsy revealed enlarged lymphatic channels in the dermis, aligning with a diagnosis of LC. The patient was treated with cryotherapy using liquid nitrogen, specifically targeting the translucent yellowish vesicles. The cryotherapy was administered in a series of eight sessions, each involving double freeze-thaw cycles, spaced out at two-week intervals. Following treatment, the patient's lesions regressed, indicating a favorable therapeutic outcome. The patient was followed up for nearly one year, during which no new lesions developed, suggesting the treatment's effectiveness in preventing recurrence. The complete resolution of lesions and absence of recurrence during follow-up indicate a good prognosis and successful response to cryotherapy. Scrotal LC, particularly the acquired form in adults without any precipitating factors, is extremely rare. This case underlines the need to include acquired LC in the diagnostic considerations when adult patients present with vesicular lesions on the scrotum, to ensure accurate diagnosis and subsequent proper treatment.
