Metastatic Axillary Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma in an African-American Female: A Rare Case.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a common skin cancer, typically affecting older White males in sun-exposed areas, and metastasis is rare. We present a unique case of a 46-year-old obese African-American woman with a recurrent, deep abscess in her left axilla. It was initially treated with several incision and drainage procedures and antibiotics. Despite multiple interventions, the abscess recurred with severe pain and drainage. Subsequent biopsies revealed a high-grade malignant neoplasm, later confirmed as poorly differentiated cSCC with primary metastases to the lungs and secondary metastases to the adrenal glands and periaortic lymph nodes. Immunohistochemical staining supported the diagnosis. The patient's atypical presentation, including her race, a non-sun-exposed site, and younger age, highlights the need for vigilance in diagnosing cSCC in atypical cases. This case underscores the importance of early consideration of cSCC in differential diagnoses for persistent or recurrent abscesses, which can facilitate timely treatment, potentially preventing extensive metastasis and improving patient outcomes.
