Atypical cellular neurothekeoma: a case report with a novel NF1 mutation.
Article in Diagnostic pathology, 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
Atypical cellular neurothekeoma is a rare benign soft-tissue tumour that usually arises in the head and neck region, shoulder girdles, and proximal extremities, predominantly in young women. This dermal neoplasm is under-reported in the literature and is not uncommonly misdiagnosed as a malignant tumour due to its worrisome histologic characteristics. Currently, the diagnosis of cellular neurothekeoma relies on a panel of non-specific immunohistochemical markers and its etiopathogenesis is unknown.Herein, we present the case of an atypical cellular neurothekeoma in the arm of a 49-year-old woman, describing its microscopic features and immunohistochemical profile. Additionally, we present a novel heterozygous predicted inactivating NF1 mutation, not previously reported, which was identified using high-throughput molecular techniques. Such finding might provide insights into the pathogenesis of neurothekeoma, potentially contributing to future refinements in diagnosis, which would enable more precise identification of this neoplasm.
