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

"Marjolin's ulcer" is known as malignant degeneration of ancient burn scars, but both words can induce misdiagnosis. Malignant degeneration of scarring tissue can occur and can vary in its clinical, histological manifestations and its pre-existing skin lesions. We present several cases to substantiate our observations. "Marjolin's ulcer" is not synonym to an ulceration appeared on an old burn scar, transformed into squamous cell carcinoma.
