Periocular basal cell carcinoma: recurrence risk factors/when to reoperate?
Article in Postepy dermatologii i alergologii, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionThe aim of periocular basal cell carcinoma (BCC) surgery is radical excision of the tumour while maintaining eyelid functionality and facial aesthetics. Differences in management of the patients after excision of eyelid BCC with a narrow margin are described in the literature.
aimThis study concerns the correlation between the recurrence rate in the periorbital area and the narrow safety margin of excision in the histopathological report with respect to various clinical and histopathological features. MATERIAL AND
methodsA retrospective non-randomized analysis was conducted on 158 patients with BCC of the periorbital area. These patients were operated on between January 2002 and December 2016. A database was created, comprised of patient age, sex, location of the lesion, TNM, method of reconstruction, result of the histopathological examination, date and location of the recurrence.
resultsIn 66 (41.77%) patients BCC was radically removed. In 50 (31.65%) patients BCC was removed with a narrow margin and in 42 (26.58%) cases, radical excision was not achieved. The recurrence rate was significantly higher in the aggressive BCC group compared to those with non-aggressive BCC (
conclusionsAn aggressive subtype of BCC significantly influences the risk of non-radical excision of the lesion. Aggressive BCC subtypes should have more frequent check-ups. There is no need to reoperate patients with a narrow margin of BCC excision.
