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

We report a case of clonal seborrheic keratosis (CPSK) adjacent to Bowen's disease (BD) in a 29‑year‑old male with no history of chronic sun exposure. The lesion presented as a brown, flat papule on the right side of the back. Histopathologically, the CPSK component featured well‑demarcated intraepidermal nests of basaloid keratinocytes, consistent with the Borst‑Jadassohn phenomenon. Adjacent areas showed full‑thickness epidermal atypia, nuclear pleomorphism, and numerous mitotic figures, including atypical forms, characteristic of BD. No clear transitional zone was identified between the two components. These findings align most closely with a collision tumor-coincidental coexistence of two independent neoplasms-rather than true malignant transformation of CPSK into BD. This case underscores the need for careful histologic evaluation to distinguish collision from transformation, particularly in the absence of chronic ultraviolet exposure.
