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

Trichilemmal cysts are the most common benign subcutaneous cysts on the scalp. Approximately 90% of trichilemmal cysts appear on the scalp and have trichilemmal keratinization without a granular layer visible on pathological examination. In addition, proliferating trichilemmal tumors, which occur in 2% of trichilemmal cysts, show local recurrence and ulceration, making them highly locally aggressive and requiring careful differentiation. We report the case of a 56-year-old man with a giant trichilemmal cyst on his forehead. After computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, a subcutaneous cyst was suspected and excised, and a pathological diagnosis of trichilemmal cyst was established. This was a rare case as the trichilemmal cyst was not located on the scalp, the most common site, but on the forehead area, and it was exceedingly large, with a maximum diameter of 9 cm.
