Congenital Ectopic Cartilaginous Nodule on the Left Cheek: A Rare Diagnostic Challenge.
Article in Iranian journal of pathology, 2026. 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
Background & Objective: Congenital cutaneous lesions containing mature cartilage are exceedingly rare and often of uncertain histogenesis. Case Report: A 17-year-old male with a lifelong left cheek nodule underwent complete excision and histopathologic examination. Microscopy revealed a deep dermal island of mature hyaline cartilage without atypia, associated epithelial components, or adnexal hyperplasia. Conclusion: The findings represent ectopic cartilage of unclear etiology. Connective tissue nevus with cartilaginous differentiation and chondroma cutis are favored considerations. Complete excision was curative, with an excellent cosmetic outcome at 5-month follow-up.
