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

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most commonly occurring carcinoma among humans. Reports of this lesion on nonexposed areas, such as the scrotum, soles, vulva, groin, pubic region, and axilla, are relatively uncommon. We present the case of a male patient with BCC located in the scrotum with a duration of 12 years who was successfully treated by local excision. Histopathology revealed infiltration by BCC. Our objective of this report is to remind specialists like urologists of the possibility of scrotal BCC when encountering scrotal lesions of unknown origin or not responding to topical treatments in a reasonable time frame.
