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

The co-existence of an infiltrative basal cell carcinoma (iBCC) and a desmoplastic trichoepithelioma (DTE) within the same cutaneous lesion is a rare occurrence. iBCCs are relatively common malignant skin neoplasms that pose a risk for local tissue destruction and recurrence. DTEs are cutaneous neoplasms originating from hair follicles that may clinically and histologically appear similar to iBCCs but are ultimately benign. Distinguishing between these two entities is important given their differing destructive potential. Herein, we describe the case of a 36-year-old female with a single skin lesion on her left cheek that was comprised of both an iBCC distinct from a DTE, as verified by histopathologic analysis. A literature review highlights the rarity of such collision tumors and discusses the potential genetic links between these two histologically similar cutaneous neoplasms.
