Rapidly Growing and Aggressive Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinomas in a Patient Treated with Ruxolitinib.
Article in Annals of dermatology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Ruxolitinib is a Janus kinase (JAK)1 and JAK2 inhibitor approved for the treatment of myelofibrosis and for polycythemia patients who are resistant or intolerant to hydroxyurea. We report a 72 year-old man patient with polycythemia vera who developed multiple cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCCs) with keratoacanthoma-like histological features while on treatment with ruxolitinib. Similar lesions have been reported in an isolated patient who also received ruxolitinib. Our case confirms that ruxolitinib may induce eruptive cSCCs with characteristic clinical and histological features that differentiate them from conventional non-drug induced lesions. Moreover, we performed a mutational panel analysis of the tumors. The lack of specific mutations in these tumors suggests an impairment of immunosurveillance in the origin of the cutaneous lesions. Frequent and thorough dermatological examinations in patients receiving ruxolitinib with a history of photodamage, skin cancer and/or previous hydroxyurea intake is thus recommended.
