A Case of Basal Cell Carcinoma Arising in Congenital Triangular Alopecia.
Article in Cureus, 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
Congenital triangular alopecia (CTA) is a rare, non-scarring form of hair loss that typically presents in childhood. We present the case of a 48-year-old woman with CTA who developed basal cell carcinoma (BCC) within the right temporal alopecic patch, representing, to our knowledge, the first documented instance of malignant transformation to BCC in this condition. This case highlights the importance of evaluating long-standing alopecic areas for potential malignancy. Although the mechanisms linking CTA to carcinogenesis are not fully understood, factors such as alterations in the local immune microenvironment, increased ultraviolet exposure, and genetic predispositions may play a role in this rare transformation.
