Clinicopathological Factors Associated with Incomplete Excision of High-risk Basal Cell Carcinoma.
Article in Acta dermato-venereologica, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Research has shown higher rates of incomplete excision among high-risk than low-risk basal cell carcinomas, but data is limited. A single-centre, retrospective study including excised high-risk basal cell carcinomas (type II-III according to the Swedish classification) was performed to determine incomplete excision rates and associated clinicopathological risk factors. Overall, 987 consecutive cases were included. Of these, 203 (20.6%) were incompletely excised. Incomplete excision rates were higher for type III basal cell carcinomas (27.0% vs 17.6% for type II, p < 0.001) and localization on the face and scalp (22.4% vs 14.7% for other locations, p = 0.009), especially on the nose, ear, scalp and periorbital area (28.0-37.0% vs 9.5-16.9% for other locations, p < 0.0001). Circular excisions were also more often incomplete (28.5%) compared with elliptical excisions (17.7%) (p < 0.001). No association was found between incomplete excision rates and tumour size, excision margins, use of a preoperative biopsy or surgeon experience. Mohs micrographic surgery should be used more often for type II-III basal cell carcinomas on the face and scalp.
