An Unusual Presentation of an Epidermoid Cyst Near the Nasolabial Fold: A Case Report.
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
Epidermoid cysts are benign, slow-growing lesions arising from epidermal cell proliferation within the dermis. Although common on the scalp and trunk, they rarely occur in the head and neck region, particularly the cheek. We report a 31-year-old male with a painless, progressive swelling lateral to the right nasolabial fold for two years. Ultrasonography and fine-needle aspiration yielded keratinous material suggestive of an epidermoid cyst. The lesion was excised entirely via an intraoral approach under general anesthesia. Histopathology showed a cyst lined by orthokeratinized stratified squamous epithelium without adnexal structures, confirming an epidermoid cyst. Healing was uneventful, and no recurrence was noted after one year. This case highlights the importance of considering epidermoid cysts in the differential diagnosis of cheek masses and demonstrates that an intraoral approach provides excellent aesthetic and functional results.
