Deep excision surgery of face due to cruel invasion of basal cell carcinoma: A case report study.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introduction and importanceThe predominant variant of skin cancer is Basal cell carcinoma (BCC), constituting about 80 % of all non-melanoma skin cancers on a global scale. Typically, it manifests on skin surfaces that are frequently exposed to sunlight, such as the neck, face, and ears. CASE PRESENTATION: A 65-year-old man presented to a specialized cancer hospital with a large pigmented lesion on the left cheek that had gradually increased in size for about a year. The tumor had become raised and ulcerated, which necessitated deep surgery on his face due to extensive invasion of BCC was done. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Basal cell carcinoma is a slow-growing, locally invasive cancerous tumor of the basal cells of the skin, which line the deepest layer of the epidermis. BCC often occurs on areas of the body that are exposed to the sun. It develops in response to cumulative UV irradiation and sporadic UV irradiation, as occurs with sunburns.
conclusionBCC is a common and potentially devastating skin cancer that primarily affects fair-skinned people over the age of 50. Lesions on the face can be particularly challenging. Early detection and treatment is critical to minimize the need for extensive excision and reconstruction.
