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

Congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN), arising from the proliferation of melanocytes, manifest at birth and are colloquially termed as bathing trunk, coat-sleeve, or stocking nevi. These lesions, occurring in approximately 1 to 2% of neonates, predominantly localize over the trunk and thigh regions. Giant congenital nevi, characterized by a size exceeding 20 cm, often present with pigmentation and hairiness. Herein, we present the case of a 14-year-old patient diagnosed with a giant congenital nevus (bathing trunk nevus) accompanied by lipomatosis, while concurrently reviewing the literature to delineate this rare association. Our investigation identified a total of six cases, comprising five females and one male. Notably, half of the cases (3/6) exhibited multiple lipomatous lesions, with the back region emerging as the most prevalent site. In our presented case, progressive enlargement of a soft tissue mass in the right flank prompted excision, revealing a well-circumscribed lipomatous lesion infiltrated diffusely by benign-appearing melanocytes within fat lobules, as confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Specifically, positivity for HMB45 and S100 markers was observed. Beyond the rarity of such occurrences, our report underscores the infrequent concomitance of CMN with lipomatosis.
