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

introductionVerrucous carcinoma is an uncommon variant of low-grade squamous cell malignancy with a low malignant potential but a high risk of recurrence. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a case of a Human Papilloma Virus negative local verrucous carcinoma in the perianal area of a 45-year old otherwise healthy female. The tumor presented clinically as a persistent genital wart not responding to usual dermatologic local therapy. The patient was referred to the Department of Plastic Surgery and Breast Surgery after primary excision in a private practice setting of a general surgeon. Three months later, further excision revealed local lichen sclerosus inflammatory changes in close proximity to the excision scar. DISCUSSION: Due to the low occurrence of verrucous carcinoma in the perianal area, no guidelines are available for the management of this disease. Conflicting reports on the ethiology and the nomenclature and classifications of verrucous carcinomas exist.

conclusionAvoid pitfalls in the diagnosis of a rare variant of squamous cell cancer with a high recurrence ratio: Common genital warts not responding to ordinary local antimitotic Podophyllotoxin treatment require biopsy to exclude verrucous carcinoma. Follow-up is recommended at a 3-6 months interval due to the relative high risk of relapse.
