Giant basal cell carcinoma of the back in an elderly lady-excision and OZ plasty.

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
Giant basal cell carcinoma is a rare type of basal cell carcinoma, which is distinguished by its propensity for early metastases and deep tissue penetration. Here, we describe a case of 76-year-old woman who had a large ulceroinfiltrative lesion on her lower back that was diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma pre-operatively. Following a wide local excision with a negative margin, an OZ plasty flap was used for immediate reconstruction. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the 1-year follow-up revealed no recurrence and excellent functional and cosmetic outcomes. In older patients with few reconstructive choices, this case study demonstrates that OZ plasty is a viable, and cosmetically good reconstructive technique.
