Triple Hedgehog Pathway Inhibition for Basal Cell Carcinoma.
Article in The Journal of clinical and aesthetic dermatology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Vismodegib, a potent inhibitor of the hedgehog pathway, is an effective treatment for advanced basal cell carcinoma. More recently, it has become recognized that other oral and topical medications exist that also inhibit this pathway. Multifocal inhibition has been shown to work more efficaciously than a single pathway inhibition when treating melanocytic tumors. The authors report the successful treatment of a patient with advanced basal cell carcinoma using the combination of vismodegib, itraconazole, and imiquimod, each of which inhibits a different part of the hedgehog pathway.
