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: The number of Mohs stages needed to remove a keratinocyte carcinoma affects resource use, expenses, and repair complexity. This study aimed to identify clinicopathological predictors associated with increased or decreased stages and areas for further research. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted from a single private practice with two Mohs surgeons of 2788 consecutive Mohs cases between January 2017 and December 2021, analyzing the average number of stages taken versus national norms ( Results: Several tumor features were significantly associated with fewer stages: squamous cell carcinomas, Mohs appropriate use criteria score of 7 or 8, preoperative size <0.25 cm Conclusions: Significant predictors exist for both increased and decreased numbers of Mohs micrographic surgery stages required to eradicate a tumor, which may help Mohs surgeons facilitate, plan, and allocate resources more effectively. Areas for further research in Mohs micrographic surgery are identified.
