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

The differential diagnosis for scalp lesions is broad, ranging from simple cysts to tumors. We present the case of a 49-year-old woman with a scalp lesion initially suspected to be an epidermoid cyst but later diagnosed as cutaneous meningioma on biopsy. As a rare form of extracranial meningioma, this case underscores the importance of correlating clinical findings with histopathology, such as integrating morphological features, immunohistochemical markers, and molecular studies, to establish a diagnosis in challenging cases with inconclusive clinical or radiological findings.
