Unconventional Remedies for Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Journey into Alternative Treatments.
Review in Current pharmaceutical biotechnology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common form of skin cancer and is typically found on sun-exposed skin. Risk factors include ultraviolet radiation exposure, older age, fairer complexion, smoking, and immunosuppression. SCC is a slow-growing tumor with the possibility of metastasis if not treated. The clinical presentation can range from a dry, scaly erythematous patch or plaque to a firm hyperkeratotic papule, plaque, or nodule, depending on the histological type via biopsy. The first-line therapies for SCC removal are standard excision and Mohs microscopic surgery; however, there are novel and alternative non-surgical options being considered for the treatment of SCC. This review summarizes the current guidelines for treating low-risk and high-risk SCC and discusses rare, experimental, and anecdotal non-surgical treatments for SCC in the literature.
