New Insights into Pathogenesis and Management of Keratoacanthoma: A Narrative Review.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Keratoacanthoma (KA) is a rapidly growing epithelial neoplasm characterized by clinical and histopathological features that often overlap with well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), posing diagnostic challenges. This review provides a comprehensive overview of KA, emphasizing advances in non-invasive diagnostic techniques such as dermoscopy, reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), and line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT), which improve lesion characterization and differentiation from SCC. We discuss the histopathological phases of KA and highlight key features aiding in diagnosis. Furthermore, we explore the emerging role of human papillomavirus (HPV), particularly β-genus types, as a cofactor in KA carcinogenesis through modulation of apoptosis and DNA damage response pathways, especially under ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure. Therapeutic strategies remain centered on complete surgical excision; however, alternative treatments, including radiotherapy, cryotherapy, topical agents, and systemic retinoids, are discussed with their respective benefits and limitations. Finally, we review current HPV vaccines and novel vaccine candidates targeting a broad spectrum of mucosal and cutaneous HPV types. This review underscores the importance of integrated diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to optimize KA management and highlights future directions in understanding its pathogenesis and treatment.
