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

Carcinoma cuniculatum (CC) is a rare and distinct clinicopathological variant of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. It is a rare and slow-growing tumor with a peculiar infiltrative growth pattern resembling rabbit burrows (cuniculi). It usually occurs over the plantar aspect of the foot but can also occur at other sites like the oral cavity and genitals. The pathogenesis is unknown, with various hypotheses of trauma as proposed by different authors. It is essential to be aware of this entity as it commonly mimics benign and other low-grade squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Diagnosis of CC can be challenging and requires repeated histological evaluation and clinical correlation. Herein, we present a case report of CC of the plantar and dorsal aspect of the foot in a 60-year-old male with a history of multiple chronic non-healing ulcers, which was clinically suspected as eumycetoma and remained inconclusive on numerous biopsies.
