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

Reconstructive surgery without achieving negative margins in basal cell carcinoma (BCC) increases the risk of recurrence. We present a case of a 68-year-old male patient diagnosed with BCC on the left cheek who underwent reconstruction without achieving negative surgical margins. The patient experienced postoperative recurrence, and the lesions recurred despite various treatments. We have followed this patient for approximately 20 years with multiple treatment modalities, and his case highlights the challenges of long-term management associated with reconstruction without achieving negative margins and the importance of combined treatment strategies.
