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

Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). To date, no consensus on the treatment of BSCC has been established yet, especially in cases of invasion of the skull base. In addition, long-term prognosis has not been reported in T4b cases. Herein, we report the case of a 36-year-old Japanese man with locally advanced nasal BSCC that directly invaded the skull base and the brain. The patient was then treated with induction chemotherapy (IC). Owing to his good response to IC, we planned and performed en bloc resection followed by adjuvant proton beam therapy (PBT). Follow-up examinations five years after treatment showed no evidence of recurrence. This is the first report of IC followed by radical surgery and adjuvant PBT in a patient with T4b. IC has the potential to play an important role in treatment strategies.
