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
Nonmelanoma skin cancers constitute more than 15% of all types of cancer. To obtain the best cosmetic outcome, local flaps represent the ideal surgical choice.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective review of patients treated from 2016 to 2019. The day-surgery group included 73 patients, and the outpatient group included 70 patients. We analyzed medical records regarding age of diagnosis, waiting time, site of lesion, reconstructive technique, histologic diagnosis, radicality of excision, and complications. We administered a survey based on quality items and carried out an economic evaluation.
resultsOutpatient removals were radical 92.6% of the time against the 78% of those performed in the operating room (
conclusionSkin excision and local flap reconstruction are safe procedures in an outpatient setting under a clinical, economical, and patient perception point of view.
