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

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most prevalent skin cancer and carries a favorable prognosis when treated early. Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is the standard of care for large BCCs greater than 2 cm on the trunk or extremities, given its ability to achieve a high cure rate while maximizing preservation of healthy tissue. While arborizing telangiectasias are a hallmark feature, locally advanced tumors may demonstrate more obvious varicosities that warrant more rigorous preoperative planning. Herein, we present a case of a large BCC on the upper back with pronounced varicosities draining into the right internal jugular vein treated with MMS. Preoperative imaging and clinical evaluation were important for ensuring treatment success in this locally advanced BCC. The tumor cleared in one stage, and a 14-month follow-up revealed no tumor recurrence and regression of the aberrant vascularization.
