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

Adnexal carcinomas are rare cutaneous malignancies arising from the eccrine and apocrine sweat glands, follicles and sebaceous glands. They occur mainly in elderly people. We report the case of a patient treated for locally advanced apocrine adnexal carcinoma of the thigh, with a review of the literature. The patient was 69 years old, he complained of pruritus on the anterior region of the left thigh four months ago with the appearance of a homolateral inguinal mass without any other associated signs. A left inguinal adenectomy was performed. After almost 15 days, the left inguinal adenopathy reappeared associated with diffuse erythematous nodules on the anterior region of the thigh. The pathological study suggested an adnexal carcinoma of the apocrine type. Surgical treatment was not feasible, therefore primary exclusive radiotherapy was administered at a total dose of 70 Gy in 35 fractions of 2 Gy each. Radiotherapy went well with some adverse events. One-month post-radiation assessment showed clinical and radiological progression.
