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

Cutaneous secretory carcinomas (CSCs) are primary neoplasms of the skin that have been just recently described in the literature through case reports and series. In this case, a cutaneous lesion was found on the left temporal region of an 83-year-old male. He was referred to plastic surgery for complete excision, with negative margins confirmed by pathology. Histology, immunostaining, and genetic testing showed characteristics confirming the diagnosis of CSC and were supported by the information present in the current literature. Our patient showed no evidence of nodal disease or recurrence during regular follow-ups. Given the rarity of CSCs, we aim to present our experience regarding the diagnosis, pathological analysis, and management of our patient as well as summarize the present literature to further open avenues of research.
