Clinicopathological Factors Associated with Incomplete Excision of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Article in Acta dermato-venereologica, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common type of cancer in Swedish men and women. The incidence of SCC is increasing rapidly. Primary treatment is complete surgical excision with sufficient margins to avoid recurrence and metastasis. The aim of this retrospective study was to identify the clinicopathological factors associated with incomplete excision of SCCs. Clinicopathological data and surgical outcome was obtained for 691 SCCs excised during a 2-year period (2014 to 2015) in Gothenberg, Sweden. Overall, 81 SCCs (11.7%) were incompletely excised. Incomplete excisions were associated with physician specialty and experience, tumour localization in the head and neck region, larger tumour diameter, and lower grade of tumour differentiation. However, multiple regression analysis revealed that large tumour size and excisions carried out by general practitioners were the only factors that significantly negatively affected rates of incomplete excision. These results should be taken into consideration when excising SCCs, in order to avoid multiple excisions.
