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

Eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC) is a rare malignant neoplasm which originates from the intraepidermal portion of eccrine sweat glands or acrosyringium. Here, we report a unique case of cutaneous metastases of EPC presenting with an erosive plaque on the left thumb and multiple nodules on left forearm. The histopathological examination of the wrist lesion revealed islands of basaloid tumor cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm, downward infiltrating growths, ductal differentiation, and intracytoplasmic lumen formations and focally connected to the epidermis. Acrosyringeal differentiation was confirmed by positive immunohistochemical staining using antibodies to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) in some of porocarcinoma cells. Lymphatic embolization was shown by immunostaining of podoplanin. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported EPC case with a primary lesion on the left thumb and zosteriform growth pattern of lymphangitic metastases on left forearm. Our case highlights the diagnostic challenges and reveals lymphangitic metastasis mode of EPC.
