Long-term follow-up of congenital melanocytic nevi in a pediatric population: a retrospective study.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to comprehensively characterize the profile of patients with congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) through the evaluation of clinical, laboratory, and therapeutic aspects, as well as outcomes related to malignancy. Lesions were classified according to current clinical criteria, considering size, projected adult size, and relevant morphological features.
methodsA retrospective study of patients diagnosed with giant, large, medium, or multiple CMN followed from 1995 to 2022.
resultsData from 60 patients were evaluated; the mean follow-up period was 5.9 years, and 63.3% were female. According to nevus size, 29.9% were giant, 33.3% large, 28.3% medium, and 8.3% medium multiple. According to location, 36.6% were on the trunk, 30% on extremities, 25% on the head, and 8.3% on other sites. Identified malformations were spina bifida (n=1), failure of fusion of the sacral posterior arch (n=1), and neurocutaneous melanosis (n=1). Melanoma was diagnosed in one patient, and proliferative nodules were found in three cases.
conclusionsOur findings stress the importance of the long-term follow-up of patients with giant, large, medium, or multiple CMN to detect associated malformations, proliferative nodules, and melanoma.
