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

Bednar tumors are rare pigmented variants of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), accounting for less than 5% of DFSP cases. We report a rare case of a congenitally pigmented lesion that progressively enlarged during pregnancy and developed pain. A 32-year-old woman presented with a blue-black nodule on her right shoulder, which had been present since birth and was initially misdiagnosed as a blue nevus. Histopathological analysis revealed spindle cell proliferation in a storiform pattern with focal melanin pigment. Immunohistochemistry showed strong CD34 positivity and negative S100 staining, consistent with Bednar tumors. This case highlights the importance of considering Bednar tumors in the differential diagnosis of congenital pigmented lesions, particularly those showing interval growth or symptoms.
