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

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a common skin malignancy and usually occurs in sun-exposed areas like the head and neck. Occurrence in the perianal area is rare, accounting for only 0.08% of all BCC, and 0.2% of anorectal malignancies.We present a case of a hypertensive woman in her 60s who had a 1-year history of a gradually enlarging mass on the left perianal region. Initial biopsy revealed a carcinoma with basaloid features and was confirmed on immunohistochemistry to be nodular BCC. Proctoscopy showed no intraluminal involvement. Contrast-enhanced chest and abdominal CT scans revealed no nodal or distant metastasis. MRI showed a 7.5 mm fat plane between the mass and the external sphincter muscles, projecting adequate surgical margins.A wide excision with at least 4 mm margins was performed. Reconstruction of the resulting defect was performed with a local random cutaneous flap.
