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

abstractWe present 2 rare cases of metatypical basal cell carcinoma - two 72-year-old male patients with ulcerative lesions localized either to the left forehead or the back. The biopsy revealed a metatypical basal cell carcinoma. The treatment consisted of a wide local elliptical excision with good cosmetic results. There was no sign of recurrence or metastasis during a 12 months follow-up period.Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) make up 95% of the most common types of cancer in the world - the non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). BCC is known for its potential to be locally invasive while SCC for its potential to metastasize in lymph nodes. The meta-typical basal cell carcinoma (MTBC) is a rare type of tumor which combines the clinical and histopathological features of both BCC and SCC with a 5% risk for the development of metastases. The gold standard for diagnosis lies in the histopathological verification of the lesional tissue. Clinical examinations alone are not enough.
