Basal Cell Carcinoma Arising from an Epidermal Nevus: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

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
An epidermal nevus is known to appear at birth or in early childhood. Generally, it does not undergo major changes throughout life and can be left untreated. We report a case of basal cell carcinoma arising from an epidermal nevus in a 79-year-old man with congenital linear brown epidermodysplasia and nodular lesions on the right posterior neck. He had no other symptoms that could be attributed to epidermal nevus syndrome. He reported leakage of exudate from the nodule in recent years. Upon resection, the histopathological examination revealed an eccrine sweat gland tumor and basal cell carcinoma in a portion of the epidermal nevus. Cases of malignant tumors (e.g., squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma) arising from an epidermal nevus have been reported previously. Nevertheless, preventive resection is not recommended in all cases. Epidermal nevi, even those left untreated or with changed properties, are rarely malignant.
