Ulcerated Metatypical Basal Cell Carcinoma of the Forehead.
Article in Open access Macedonian journal of medical sciences, 2017. 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
An 81-year-old male presented with an ulcerated lesion on the frontal area. The lesion had started three years before with a small ulceration and was initially treated with a cream of betamethasone and fusidic acid twice daily for several months. The clinical impression was ulcerated basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The histopathological findings after surgical excision were consistent with metatypical or basosquamous carcinoma. The importance of metatypical and basosquamous carcinomas is their potential for a more aggressive behaviour than conventional BCC, both regarding local recurrences and metastatic disease. Clinicians should be aware of the more aggressive behaviour of metatypical BCC since it may influence the protocols of follow-up of these patients to timely detect local recurrences and/or metastatic disease.
