Trends in basal cell carcinoma incidence rates: a 16-year retrospective study of a population in central Poland.
Article in Postepy dermatologii i alergologii, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
introductionBasal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most commonly occurring cancer worldwide, and the overall incidence is still rising. Unfortunately, the cancer registry in Poland does not record BCC individually. Thus, the incidence of BCC in a defined population is unknown.
aimAnalysis of incidence rates of primary BCC in central Poland during 16 years considering sex, site distribution and age to determine trends. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe retrospectively included all cases of BCC which were diagnosed and treated in the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Medical University of Lodz, during the 16-year period from 1999 to 2015.
resultsWe recorded 945 BCCs occurring in 890 patients (504 females - 57%, 386 males - 43%). Patient's age was between 21 and 94. A distinct increase in BCC was observed after 1999, while after 2010 during the next 2-year period a slight decrease was noted. A statistically significant correlation was observed between histopathological types of BCC and the location of the lesions. The superficial type predominates on photoprotected areas, especially on the trunk, while the nodular type occurs mainly in facial areas. No statistically significant correlation was observed between histopathological types of BCC and sex. We found a significant increase in incidence for superficial BCC among middle-age patients, while the nodular type was observed more frequently among elderly subjects.
conclusionsBasal cell carcinoma is quite common in Poland and predominantly develops in the facial area. In middle-age patients the most common is superficial BCC, while in elderly people the nodular type is most common. Based on our results we assume that there is a strong need to educate general physicians to enable them to diagnose BCC in the early stages.
