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

Background: Carcinoma cuniculatum is a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma, mostly affecting the skin but also sparsely reported to occur in the oral cavity. Oral carcinoma cuniculatum (OCC) tends to be misdiagnosed as verrucous carcinoma; this may lead to inadequate treatment and recurrence due to the locally aggressive nature of the tumor. This report presents the case of a 56-year-old man with a progressively enlarging painful OCC at the maxillary right molar region, exhibiting both exophytic (red, soft, nodular mass) and endophytic (superficial ulceration and bone exposure, mimicking nonhealing extraction sockets) growth patterns. Incisional biopsy was consistent with OCC, a diagnosis that was corroborated through histopathologic examination of the resected specimen. The patient underwent Conclusions: The aim of this report is to provide a thorough clinical imaging and histopathological presentation of OCC along with a brief literature review to highlight the difficulties of accurate diagnosis and the pitfalls in treating this uncommon entity.
