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

Vulvar cancer represents the fourth most common gynecologic malignancy and is often encountered by the general Dermatologist or Gynecologist. Dermatooncologists and Gynecologic Oncologists share expertise in this field and the diagnosis and treatment should ideally be interdisciplinary. All subtypes are typically seen in the later decades of life, although all histologic subtypes have been described in women younger than 30 years. The diagnosis is often delayed. Exact mapping of biopsies is of high importance, as the location and distance from the midline guides the surgical approach depending on the underlying histology. Squamous cell carcinoma accounts for more than 76 % of vulvar cancer with vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia being an important precursor. Basal cell carcinoma is the second most common vulvar malignancy. Melanoma accounts for 5.7 % of vulvar cancer and has a worse prognosis compared to cutaneous melanoma. Most of the trials on checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapy have not excluded patients with vulvar melanoma and the preliminary evidence is reviewed in the manuscript. Surgery remains the primary treatment modality of locally resectable vulvar cancer. In view of the rarity, the procedure should be performed in dedicated cancer centers to achieve optimal disease control and maintain continence and sexual function whenever possible.
