Surgical Debulking Modifies Notch Signaling and May Improve Vismodegib Effectiveness for Locally Advanced Basal Cell Carcinoma.

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.
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
Smoothened inhibitors, such as vismodegib, exhibit remarkable success in treating patients with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (LaBCC). Yet, vismodegib efficacy is hindered by notable side effects, which often lead to treatment discontinuation and subsequent relapse in patients with LaBCC. Prolonged remission was previously reported in patients with LaBCCs who underwent surgical debulking before starting vismodegib. In this study, we enrolled 4 patients with LaBCC who underwent debulking followed by vismodegib therapy to assess their clinical outcomes and analyze the cutaneous molecular changes occurring as a result of surgical intervention. After LaBCC debulking, patients underwent a punch biopsy of residual basal cell carcinoma tissue 1 week later. RT-qPCR analysis of 24 Notch and Wnt signaling-associated genes revealed elevated
