Long-Standing Seborrheic Keratosis of the Scalp.
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
Seborrheic keratosis (SK) is a common benign epidermal tumor that frequently arises in elderly patients. Although it is usually straightforward to diagnose, atypical long-standing or pigmented lesions on the scalp can mimic malignancies such as melanoma or pigmented basal cell carcinoma. We present the case of an 82-year-old man with a slowly enlarging verrucous plaque on the left temporo-parietal scalp that has been present for at least 20 years. The lesion was asymptomatic but demonstrated dark pigmentation and irregular borders, prompting histopathologic evaluation. Biopsy confirmed SK, and the lesion was completely removed by shave excision and curettage. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge posed by long-standing pigmented scalp lesions and emphasizes the importance of clinicopathologic correlation to exclude malignancy.
