Complications of auricular cartilage harvest in rhinoplasty: Keloid and epidermal cyst formation.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 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
Keloid scars and epidermoid cysts present unique challenges in plastic surgery, often requiring distinct diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Keloid scars result from dysregulated wound healing characterized by collagen overproduction and inflammatory states. In contrast, epidermoid cysts are cutaneous lesions lined with keratinized epithelium, with the rare complication of development into squamous cell carcinoma. A rare clinical dilemma is when epidermoid cysts arise within keloidal scar tissue. In this case, effective management involves meticulous diagnostic approaches, including ultrasonography and histopathological examination, to identify coexisting cysts within scar tissue. In the few studies reporting this rare occurrence, various treatment protocols exist consisting of various combinations of surgical excision, intralesional corticosteroid injections, chemotherapeutic agents, laser therapy, radiotherapy, isotretinoin, and tranilast. As advancements in the comprehension and treatment of epidermoid cysts within keloid scars progress, customized therapeutic approaches provide promise for enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life.
