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

Background: There exists significant heterogeneity in the presentation of "common" skin cancers such as cutaneous melanoma (CM), cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Meaningful differences are often observed among the trio concerning age, sex, site at presentation and laterality. Objective: In this paper, we endeavor to elucidate such heterogeneity, reaffirm burgeoning trends in skin cancer incidence, and offer new insights in the presentation of common skin cancers. Results: While agreement with current consensus was achieved with regard to various aspects of sex, age, and site-specific findings, several novel results emerged: (1) the percentage of subjects presenting with CM was demonstrably higher than population averages would estimate; (2) melanoma exhibited a pronounced right-side bias; (3) cSCC was not head and neck preferring as other reviews have documented (4) cSCC exhibited greater female bias. Conclusion: In this study, we documented insights from 663 cases (397 unique subjects) across a range of factors including age, laterality, site of presentation, and sex specific differences in incidence. The results of our analysis generally accord well with previous findings, replicating several of the most prominent results.
