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

introductionBasal cell carcinoma (BCC) quite frequently presents as multiple tumors in individual patients. Neoplasm's risk factors for local recurrence have a critical impact on therapeutic management.

objectiveTo detect risk factors for multiple BCCs (mBCC) in individual patients and to describe clinical and dermatoscopic features of low- and high-risk tumors. MATERIALS &

methodsOur study included 225 patients with 304 surgically excised primary BCCs. All patients' medical history and demographics were recorded. Clinical and dermatoscopic images of BCCs were evaluated for predefined criteria and statistical analyses were performed.

resultsGrade II-III sunburns before adulthood (OR 2.146,

conclusionsProfiling of mBCC patients and a thorough knowledge of high-risk tumors' clinico-dermatoscopic morphology could provide physicians with important information towards prevention of this neoplasm.
