Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma with Signet-Ring Cell Component and CDX2 Expression in a Patient Treated with PD-1 Inhibitor: A Case Report of a Common Tumor with Unusual Differentiation.

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.
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
Signet-ring cell squamous cell carcinoma (SRCSCC) is an uncommon variant of cutaneous SCC that has been reported in the head and neck region. Herein, we present a case of a 56-year-old female with a cutaneous SCC that recurred after surgical excision, during treatment with cemiplimab (a programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitor). Histologically, the recurrent SCC revealed a second component characterized by the presence of signet-ring-like cells (SRLCs). Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated that the tumor cells were positive for P63, CK5/6, CDX2, and P53 while negative for P16, CK7, CK20, and CD68 stains. An abnormal expression of B-catenin was also observed in the tumor. To our knowledge, SRCSCC developing during treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor has not been documented in the literature. Our findings suggest a form of acquired SCC cell resistance to immunotherapy that might involve CDX2-related pathways.
