Clues to primary vismodegib resistance lie in histology and genetics.
Article in Journal of clinical pathology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common human malignant neoplasm. However, there are multiple BCC subtypes that share clinical features while demanding different management. We present a case of a woman with hundreds of BCCs throughout her body that were resistant to vismodegib and without other features of basal cell nevus syndrome. Histological results of biopsies taken from various sites revealed three lesions characteristic of infundibulocystic BCCs (IBCCs) and two BCCs. Paired whole-exome sequencing performed using DNA isolated from blood and one of her IBCCs uncovered a germline heterozygous
