Basal Cell Carcinoma of the 2nd Digit Treated With the Reverse Cross-Finger Flap: A Case Report.

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
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer but rarely presents on the finger with few cases described in the literature. We present the case of a 77-year-old female with a nine-month history of biopsy-proven BCC on the dorsal aspect of her left index finger. Following the complete surgical excision of the tumor, a two-stage reverse cross-finger flap was performed, resulting in minimal impact on mobility and aesthetics and prompting a discussion on the efficacy of this approach in treating BCC of the hand. We explore the various treatment modalities available for BCCs, underscoring the importance of tailored interventions for optimal patient outcomes. The successful outcome in our case emphasizes the significance of considering alternative surgical techniques in managing uncommon presentations of BCCs, contributing to the evolving armamentarium of options available to hand surgeons.
