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

rationaleTrichoepithelioma (TE) is a rare benign skin tumor that originates from the hair follicle epithelium. Although skin lesions arising from scar tissues are mostly malignant, the development of a benign tumor such as TE is a rare event. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 28-year-old male patient who had a scar on the left cheek which arose 10 years ago because of a chemical burn visited our hospital. Scar revision was performed under local anesthesia. DIAGNOSIS: Histological examination identified the specimen as a TE with malignant foci suspicious of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) at the lateral margin of the specimen.

interventionsA second stage operation was planned to excise the BCC with a 4 mm margin of the normal skin around the previous lesion. OUTCOMES: No complication or recurrence was noted during the 1-year follow-up period after surgery, and the appearance of the scar improved. LESSONS: The correct differential diagnosis between TE and BCC is very important. So follow up at regular intervals is recommended for evaluation of recurrence or transformation into BCC in patients with tumors arising from chemical burn scars. And the concomitant development of TE and BCC should also be considered from a chemical burn scar.
