1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma is an infiltrative and aggressive variant of squamous cell carcinoma with basaloid features. Primary skin-derived basaloid squamous cell carcinoma is rare. Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma is commonly observed in the oropharyngeal and anogenital regions and is associated with high-risk human papillomavirus. We report a case of primary basaloid squamous cell carcinoma overlying the right scapula with metastasis to the regional lymph nodes and brain despite surgical resection and adjuvant chemoradiation. Histopathologic investigations of high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma do not routinely involve human papillomavirus testing. In contrast, oncogenic human papillomavirus and p16 are screened in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma for prognostication. Since the patient presented with an aggressive variant of squamous cell carcinoma and distal metastasis despite standard therapies, human papillomavirus testing was performed. P16, a surrogate marker for human papillomavirus infection and specifically HPV16 was identified in the tumor. This is a unique report of HPV16 in primary cutaneous basaloid squamous cell carcinoma with distal brain metastasis.
