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

This case report discusses a 58-year-old patient with linear porokeratosis who subsequently developed cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Porokeratosis is a rare keratinisation disorder which carries a risk of malignant transformation. The patient initially presented with recurrent erosions and ulcerations. After initial reluctance of the patient to seek medical help, biopsies confirmed squamous cell carcinoma in several lesions. These were successfully excised and the patient opted for secondary wound healing. Due to its potential for malignancy, porokeratosis often requires diligent monitoring. It typically features hyperkeratotic lesions that can progress over time. Although there are various treatment options for porokeratosis, long-term efficacy is limited. This case emphasises the importance of early biopsy in chronic, nonhealing wounds, as well as the need for patient education and regular follow-up to effectively manage the risk of malignancy.
