The Unexpected Guest: Basal Cell Carcinoma on a Covered Site.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 prevalent form of skin cancer; it is slow-growing and locally invasive with an extremely low likelihood of metastasis. The activation of the Hedgehog (HH) signaling pathway is implicated in nearly all cases, with ultraviolet radiation being the primary risk factor. While BCC typically occurs in areas of chronic sun exposure, it can rarely develop in non-sun-exposed areas, as demonstrated by our case of a 68-year-old Indian woman presenting with a BCC lesion on her left hip. Dermoscopy revealed features suggestive of basal cell carcinoma which was subsequently confirmed as adenoid type on histopathological examination. The patient underwent a successful wide excision of the lesion with clear margins, and post-operative healing was satisfactory. This case highlights the rare occurrence of BCC in non-sun-exposed areas and underscores the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. Regular follow-up is essential, as patients with a history of BCC are at high risk for subsequent skin cancers.
