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

Objective: Keratoacanthomas are fast-growing cutaneous neoplasms that can be difficult to distinguish from squamous cell carcinoma, both clinically and histologically. The uncertain behavior of these neoplasms creates a challenge in management, and treatment choice often varies significantly between cases. The objective of this review is to discuss the most common and up-to-date treatment modalities used in the management of keratoacanthomas. Methods: A literature search was performed using PubMed to access and review relevant keratoacanthoma treatment modalities published within the last 40 years. Keywords searched included "keratoacanthoma," "Grzybowski syndrome," "Ferguson-Smith syndrome," "Witten-Zac syndrome," and "Muir-Torre" syndrome. Results: Our search resulted in 3,408 articles, of which 67 articles were ultimately included in this review. Conclusion: Although surgical removal with excision or Mohs micrographic surgery remains the standard of therapy, there are many alternative therapeutic modalities that can be utilized.
