Unusual Presentation of Cutaneous Spindle Cell Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in dermatology. 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
Cutaneous spindle cell squamous cell carcinoma (SpSCC) is a rare and often aggressive subtype of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), which usually appears in sun-exposed areas, in areas that have received prior ionizing radiation, or in immunosuppressed individuals. SpSCCs are histologically characterized by keratinocytes infiltrating the dermis as single cells with elongated nuclei rather than as cohesive nests or islands and, in contrast to conventional SCC, are lacking features of keratinization. Immunohistochemical studies are useful to distinguish SpSCC from other spindle cell neoplasms, such as spindle cell/desmoplastic melanoma, cutaneous leiomyosarcoma, and atypical fibroxanthoma. We present a rare case of a patient with SpSCC in the gluteal region with regional lymph node metastasis. The patient was treated with wide excision of the tumor, inguinal lymph node dissection, and adjuvant radiotherapy. Cutaneous SpSCC is clinically similar to conventional SCC but can demonstrate more aggressive behavior. This case is rare since it was localized in the gluteal region of an otherwise healthy man.
