A European Consensus on the Consistent Use of the Term "Keratinocyte Cancer".

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
Keratinocyte-derived skin cancers comprise basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, its precursor actinic keratosis, and Bowen's disease. Historically, this group of neoplasms has been subsumed under the term non-melanoma skin cancer. However, the term non-melanoma skin cancer can be misleading and lacks precision. Therefore, more precise and reasonable terminology, valuing the relevance of keratinocyte-derived cancer, appears pertinent to meet its clinical and scientific significance. A group of experienced dermato-oncologists initiated a consensus approach to promote the use of the term "keratinocyte cancer" instead of "non-melanoma skin cancer" when referring to carcinomas and their precursors that are derived from keratinocytes. The vote among members of the consensus group indicated unanimous agreement on the consistent use of the term "keratinocyte cancer" instead of "non-melanoma skin cancer". International delegates also voted in favour of the revised terminology. The more precise and, by means of etiopathogenesis, correct term "keratinocyte cancer" should be consistently used for malignancies originated from keratinocytes. This is expected to have a positive impact on patient-physician communication and gives better justice to this important group of keratinocyte-derived cancers.
