Pilonidal Sinus in the Cheek: A Report of a Rare Case.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Pilonidal sinus (PNS) is a common inflammatory condition that predominantly affects males. It typically occurs beneath the skin of the sacrococcygeal region. We present a rare case of a 40-year-old patient with a painless, suppurating swelling on the cheek for two days, accompanied by itching. Under local anesthesia, incision and drainage were performed, as the patient declined excision. Medical advice was provided, and the patient was encouraged to follow up. The cheek is an extremely rare location for a PNS. Diagnosis can be challenging due to its unusual presentation. However, special care should be taken during surgical excision, as preserving the cosmetic appearance is a priority.
