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

A woman in her 60s presented with a longstanding history of a purplish, fleshy and pedunculated nodule on the right shin on a background of bilateral lower limb lymphoedema. A shave biopsy with double curettage of the base of the lesion revealed a nodular tumour with hyperchromatic basaloid cells arranged in a cribriform pattern and encircling eosinophilic substance. Immunohistochemistry staining showed cells positive for pancytokeratin, low molecular weight keratin, BerEP4 and negative for cytokeratin 20. There were no clinical or radiological features of primary visceral malignancy. These histological and immunohistochemical features favour a diagnosis of primary cribriform carcinoma of the skin. This is a rare, indolent skin appendage tumour of presumed apocrine origin with no reported cases in the literature of metastasis or local recurrence after excision.
