Spontaneous multiple keloids: a case report.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
An aberrant healing reaction to cutaneous injury or inflammation that spreads outside the original wound's boundaries causes keloidal scars. We present the case of a sixty-year-old male patient who initially came with complaints of respiratory system but had spontaneous lesions over his body for 50 years which remained undiagnosed. It was confirmed on histological examination to be keloids. The patient was treated with intralesional triamcinolone acetonide 40 mg plus an injection of lignocaine hydrochloride 2% in the ratio of 1:1 which provided him with a significant reduction in scar appearance over one month and thereby reducing his psychological burden. It is uncommon for spontaneous keloid scars to occur without any prior trauma or surgical intervention. Also, it details a manifestation of spontaneous keloid scars that manifest as numerous sizable lesions at various body locations. This study provides evidence in favor of such spontaneous appearance of keloid scars.
