Atypical and giant proliferating pilomatrixoma of the eyelid: a clinicopathological report.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundPilomatrixoma is an uncommon benign skin neoplasm originating from the hair follicle. Here, we report a rare case of giant and atypical proliferating pilomatrixoma affecting the eyelid. CASE PRESENTATION: A 47-year-old male presented with a solitary, giant mass on his left upper eyelid, which had recently shown progressive enlargement. The lesion appeared well-circumscribed with a firm consistency, and measuring 7 × 10 cm. Orbital computed tomography scan revealed no intraorbital extension. The lesion was surgically excised. Histopathological examination identified the mass as an atypical proliferating pilomatrixoma, characterized by a minimal infiltrating margin of the deep plane and focal cytological atypia of the basaloid cells. No recurrence was observed up to one year postoperatively.
conclusionsPilomatrixoma is a rare periocular tumor with potential for malignant transformation, often mimicking other lesions in this region. Therefore, any enlarging masses in this area should be excised for histopathological evaluation to rule out malignancy.
