Functional status and survival in patients ≥85 years of age who have keratinocyte carcinoma: A retrospective cohort study.
Article in Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundFunctional status assessment may help estimate which patients ≥85 years of age will benefit from surgical treatment for keratinocyte carcinoma (KC), but predictive value for short-term survival in this population has not been determined.
objectiveWe sought to assess the predictive value of functional status for short-term survival in patients ≥85 years of age who have KC.
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort review of 238 patients ≥85 years of age who presented for the management of KC between 2010 and 2015. Functional status was assessed with the Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) and Katz Activities of Daily Living (ADL) index. Overall survival was determined.
resultsLower functional status scores of KPS ≤40 and Katz ADL ≤4 were associated with 37% and 53% survival at 2 years, respectively. LIMITATIONS: Retrospective design and single-center study.
conclusionIn this study, KPS and Katz ADL predicted short-term survival. Patients with low functional status scores had significantly decreased survival at 2 years, with double the death rate of patients with high functional status. Functional status should be considered during shared decision-making for elderly individuals who are seeking treatment for KC.
