Cryosurgery of Periocular Moderately Aggressive Basal 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
Uncertainty exists regarding the results of treating basal cell carcinomas with a more aggressive growth pattern than nodular growth with cryosurgery. Over the years, some medium aggressive, well-defined basal cell carcinomas have been treated with cryosurgery at the combined ophthalmology-dermatology recipiency at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg in Sweden. The medical records of these patients were reviewed to analyse the results. A total of 53 cryosurgeries were performed in 52 patients during 2009 to 2016. None of these patients had a recurrence within the first 3 years. There were 2 recurrent tumours after 5 years and 1 after 9 years. It is concluded that cryosurgery is an effective treatment option for well-defined basal cell carcinomas with an intermediate growth pattern.
