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

Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) is a rare spindle cell proliferation arising from significant sun exposure. AFX often appears as a red papule, typically found in the head and neck region of elderly patients. Since there is no specificity in immunohistology, various stains differentiate AFX from other skin cancers. The stains include cluster of differentiation 68 (CD68), cluster of differentiation 163 (CD163), vimentin, cytokeratin epithelial (CKAE), and melanin. While local recurrence is common, AFX rarely metastasizes. Thus, the treatment options are complete surgical excision or micrographically oriented histographic surgery.
