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

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC ) is the most common human malignancy. Systemic therapy with a sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway inhibitor plays an important role in the treatment of advanced BCC . Literature on concurrent use of radiation therapy (RT ) with SHH inhibitors has been minimal and has solely been focused on vismodegib. We present a case report of a patient with recurrent basal cell carcinoma involving the high-risk area of the face, who was denied surgery due to comorbidities and difficulty in obtaining complete tumor removal without cosmetic or functional impairment. The patient received combined treatment of fractionated radiation with concurrent sonidegib and had complete clinical response with no significant toxicities. This is the first reported case on the use of concurrent RT with sonidegib for management of recurrent basal cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
