Infiltrative Basal Cell Carcinoma of the Head: Factors Influencing Bone Invasion and Surgical Outcomes.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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, with infiltrative subtypes presenting significant clinical challenges due to their aggressive behavior and potential for deep tissue and bone invasion. This study aimed to evaluate factors associated with bone infiltration and surgical bone removal in patients with infiltrative BCC. A prospective cohort of 100 patients with histologically confirmed infiltrative BCC was analyzed retrospectively. Clinical, histopathological, and imaging data were assessed to identify predictors of tumor behavior. Tumor size, histological subtype, and disease duration emerged as significant factors associated with bone invasion and resection. Logistic regression analysis identified tumor length as the most significant predictor of both bone infiltration (OR = 1.102,
