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

Congenital melanocytic nevus is a benign proliferation seen from birth. However, malignant transformation can be observed in later ages, so the removal of especially large and giant nevi is recommended during childhood. Nevertheless, there are no cases reported in the literature regarding excision of giant congenital melanocytic nevi in advanced age. This article presents the first case of a 39-year-old patient with a giant congenital melanocytic nevus covering 10% of the total body surface area, who underwent treatment with a 2-step operation. The nevus was located on the back, covering 10% of the total body surface area. The patient underwent en-bloc excision. A bilayer dermal matrix was applied over the fascia. Subsequently, a split-thickness skin graft was applied to the entire area. Full re-epithelialization was achieved within a total of 35 days. Thanks to the applied dermal scaffold, the area became pliable.
