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

A 47- year-old woman developed a rapidly enlarging vulvar mass. Although the clinical appearance suggested malignancy, its lack of atypia and invasion on initial superficial biopsy delayed the pathological diagnosis. It was not until a large incisional biopsy was performed that showed the diagnosis of verrucous squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) involving pre-existing sinuses of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). VSCC arising in HS is very rare and often leads to death in published cases. This case demonstrates the challenge in pathological diagnosis of this condition which impacted time to treatment.
