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

Basal cell carcinoma is a skin cancer with a more benign clinical course, compared to other skin cancers. However, when left neglected, it can cause serious morbidity and mortality. A basal cell carcinoma larger than 5 cm is defined as giant. Common causes of these carcinomas are negligence, immunosuppression, low socioeconomic status, physical or mental dysfunction, light exposure, exposure to radiation, existence of a previous lesion, recurrence after treatment, and aggressive histologic pattern. In some cases, giant basal cell carcinoma has been described to infiltrate multiple intracranial structures and to be associated with distant metastasis. Herein, we present a case of a giant basal cell carcinoma on the temporary scalp of a renal transplant recipient with depression.
