Skin adnexal tumor pilomatrix disease: a transformation from benign to malignant.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Skin adnexal tumors are a wide category of both benign and malignant neoplasms that exhibit morphologic differentiation into one or more than one type of adnexal structure of the skin. We present here a unique finding of a large pilomatrix carcinoma (PC) of the upper extremity in a 54 year-old-man, initially believed to be a pilomatricoma (PM). He underwent surgical excision and lymph node biopsy successfully without any complications followed by reconstructive skin grafting. Imaging and initial pathology supported a benign diagnosis, however further tissue analysis revealed a malignant PC with evidence of matrical differentiation, increased mitotic activity, and central necrosis. Our patient's disease course may support the theory that benign PM are the origin of formation of PCs. Furthermore, this case report will discuss the histology, epidemiology, and evolving pathogenesis of these adnexal tumors.
