Success of Mohs surgery in the treatment of basal cell carcinoma in a tier two city in India.
Article in Journal of cutaneous and aesthetic surgery. 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) represents the commonest cutaneous malignancy globally. Its diagnosis in patients with skin of color is often delayed due to its low prevalence which reduces clinical suspicion and its indolent course. Studies on BCC in India are few. Considering that it is a locally invasive tumor commonly seen in the head and neck region, its management calls for the complete clearance of the cancer accompanied by minimal cosmetic disfigurement. One modality fitting the said requirements is Mohs micrographic surgery. However, the facilities for the same are limited in our country. We report here cases of histologically confirmed BCC managed successively with Mohs surgery, a technique associated with low recurrence rates while also being aesthetically superior when compared to traditional surgical excision.
