Pathologic complete response with radiation and vismodegib in a patient with advanced basal cell carcinoma: A case report.
Article in Molecular and clinical oncology, 2021. 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
In locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC) patients who are not surgical candidates and where radiation therapy (RT) alone would offer lower control rates, the combination of vismodegib and RT delivered concurrently may potentially improve outcomes compared to single modality treatment. The current study presents a case of very advanced, multifocal BCC who received concurrent vismodegib and RT. The patient initially came in with four large primary areas of disease including the left preauriculum, right shoulder, chest wall and right lateral ankle. All sites achieved a clinical complete response, with a pathologic complete response at the right shoulder. The ankle lesion did not require RT and continues to have a clinical complete response. The findings from our case report support several other cases with similar efficacy when vismodegib and RT are combined.
