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 cutaneous horn is a rare, hyperkeratotic, projecting lesion that can be mostly found in sun-exposed areas of the skin. The base of the lesions can reveal an underlying malignancy. They can also be associated with several benign or pre-malignant dermatologic conditions. A biopsy of the base of the lesion and histopathological analysis are needed to confirm the diagnosis. Management depends on the underlying disease; however, surgical excision is the preferred treatment method.
