Pilomatrixoma of the Eyelid in an 83-Year-Old Woman: A Rare Case in the Elderly.

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
Pilomatrixoma is a rare subcutaneous tumor originating from the cellular matrix of hair follicles. While it predominantly arises during the first two decades of life, its occurrence in elderly patients is exceedingly rare. We present the case of an 83-year-old woman with a recently growing, indurated nodule located on the right upper eyelid. Her medical history included left breast cancer treated with tumorectomy, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, with remission since 2012. Given her advanced age and oncological history, differential diagnoses included malignant tumors, metastasis, or recurrence of breast cancer involving the head and neck region. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of pilomatrixoma, which was completely excised with clear margins. The postoperative course was uneventful, and no recurrence was observed at one-month follow-up. This case highlights the importance of including pilomatrixoma in the differential diagnosis of head and neck lesions in elderly patients.
