Beyond the surface: A case study about nevus sebaceous removal for cosmetic concerns.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2025. 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
Nevus sebaceous, a benign scalp birthmark, typically presents without immediate health concerns but may require removal as it becomes bothersome with age. Symptoms are typically cosmetic, lacking pain or bleeding. Clinical presentation varies with age, initially appearing as a smooth, hairless yellowish patch, later evolving into an elevated lesion after the onset of puberty. We report a case of a 25-year-old female with nevus sebaceous. Despite its benign nature, the patient opted for excision due to cosmetic concerns and the potential for malignancy. Surgical removal was successful without complications. This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and intervention to alleviate discomfort and potential malignancy. While rare, malignant transformation can occur, emphasizing the need for vigilant monitoring and timely surgical intervention, particularly during pre-puberty stages. Treatment should prioritize removal to prevent malignant progression and address cosmetic concerns. Further research is needed to refine management strategies for nevus sebaceous.
