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

Genital BCC (Basal Cell Carcinoma) tends to present at a more advanced stage due to delayed diagnosis, often exacerbated by patient embarrassment, misdiagnosis, or lack of symptoms. We present an extremely rare case of multicentric BCC involving the penis and scrotum in a 66-year-old Caucasian male, presented with progressive and recurrent genital skin lesions causing discomfort and an ulcerated lesion of the glans. Surgical treatment included en-bloc wide local excision of the skin with glansectomy and reconstruction using Singapore and Keystone flaps, along with skin grafting. Histopathological analysis revealed infiltrative BCC with vascular and perineural invasion and extension into the corpus spongiosum of glans. The residual stump preserved spontaneous erectile function. Follow-up is ongoing every 3 months. This case underscores the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of genital BCC, particularly when presenting in advanced, multicentric forms.
