Regression of Periocular Basal Cell Carcinoma: A Report of Four Cases with Clinicopathologic Correlation.
Article in Ocular oncology and 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
objectivesTo describe the spectrum of clinical and histopathological features of a case series of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) with spontaneous regression and to discuss this phenomenon.
methodFour cases of BCC with complete/substantial regression were retrospectively identified. Patients' records were analyzed for demographic data, clinical appearance, and the postoperative course. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens were routinely processed and stained with hematoxylin and eosin and periodic acid Schiff.
resultsComplete (
conclusionsBCC can show spontaneous substantial or complete regression. Histological tumor absence in lesions which are clinically suspicious for a neoplasm can be a hint for a regressive BCC. Recurrences may develop from remaining tumor islands warranting periodical clinical visits in cases of clinically as well as histologically suspected regressive BCC.
