1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon soft tissue sarcoma primarily found on the trunk and proximal extremities that typically appears as a slowly progressing, firm, violet-red, or blue plaque. In this case report, we describe our experience with a patient who presented with recurrent DFSP of the forehead of size 10 × 6 cm. Patient underwent wide local excision and reconstruction with a rotational scalp flap and split skin graft (SSG) cover. No early or late complications were observed in the patient. The flaps survived completely and SSG had full uptake. This surgical technique allowed a radical excision of forehead DFSP, thus potentially decreasing tumor recurrence rate. All main reconstructive criteria, such as functional and cosmetic tissue characteristics, were completely fulfilled.
