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

objectiveTo develop appropriate use criteria (AUC) for the treatment of basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma by superficial radiation therapy (SRT) technique. MATERIAL AND

methodsDelphi-type discussion of the experts.

resultsPresented in Figure 1.

conclusionThese AUCs are in compliance both with the position statement of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) and the ASTRO Clinical Practice Guideline on this subject. It is further recommended that SRT will be only performed by either a dermatologist who is board certified in Mohs surgery (MDS) and who had adequate SRT training or by radiation oncologists. Hopefully, this publication will stimulate further discussion on this topic.
