Improvement of Basal Cell Carcinomas in Patients with Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome Following by 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Photodynamic Therapy: A Case Report.

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
Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) is a rare autosomal dominant-inherited disease characterized by multiple basal cell carcinomas, multiple keratocystic odontogenic tumors, palmar and/or plantar pits. A 50-year-old male patient presented to our hospital with multiple plaques and maculopapular lesions on his face and trunk for more than 20 years. A skin biopsy revealed a number of discrete nests of basaloid cells in the dermis where the peripheral cells are arrayed like a palisade. Multiple odontogenic keratocysts and falx cerebri calcification were found. The diagnosis of NBCCS was made. We treated this patient with 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) with red light activation, 5% imiquimod cream and surgical excision for the basal cell carcinomas. All the skin lesions on his face improved substantially after eight sessions of red-light ALA-PDT from clinical observation. Red-light ALA-PDT proved to be a good therapeutic method for NBCCS in this case.
