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

This case report covers the case of a 56-year-old woman with two separate occurrences of squamous cell neoplasms, one arising in pink tattoo pigment and another arising in orange tattoo pigment. A review of the literature was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of malignancy occurring in tattoos. This is rare and there are a limited number of case reports and no large studies done on this condition. Most malignancies in tattoos occur in red, black, or blue tattoo inks and no cases have been reported thus far of malignancy in pink or orange tattoo pigments. Due to the limited number of cases, more case studies are needed to determine the prevalence, risk, and epidemiology of malignancy arising within tattoos.
