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

A nevus sebaceous is a rare type of lesion that most often occurs on the scalp but can appear anywhere on the head, face, neck, forehead, or scalp. Nevus sebaceous is benign lesion usually resulting from hyperplasia of different elements of the skin such as epithelial, sebaceous, follicular elements. This article discusses a patient with giant nevus sebaceous lesions on his scalp and right ear. An 18-year-old man came to the Plastic Surgery Outpatient Department, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran with a large gray brown Nevus like lesions on his scalp and on the right periauricular region. Both lesions gradually increased in size over the time, leading to giant papillomatosis lesions. The patient had no manifestations like pain or other symptoms. The operation was planned, and lesions excised and repaired with Local Flap and Full thickness skin graft, the patient was discharged after a day. After surgery, recovery was good and after 3 months there was no relapse and cosmetic result was excellent. This article shows the importance of surgery role in nevus sebaceous patients and discusses different types of treatments.
