Single and multiple keratoacanthomas after a recent black tattoo in two patients.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
As studies on keratoacanthomas (KAs) within tattoos are scarce, our comprehension on the development of KAs in tattoos remains limited. Notably, existing studies predominantly focus on KAs found in tattoos containing red ink. This study addresses these gaps by documenting two cases of KAs within recently applied black and grey tattoos. The first case, a woman in her mid-40s, presented with two painful hyperkeratotic lesions in the tattooed skin on her left forearm and, notably, one similar simultaneously grown asymptomatic papule outside the tattooed skin. The second case, a man in his early 40s, presented with a painful hyperkeratotic nodule on a tattoo on the right leg. Histopathology showed that the nodules in both patients were compatible with a KA. After discussing therapeutic options, both patients opted for a wait-and-see approach, whereafter, the nodules regressed within months.
