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

We describe the case of a 57-year-old female patient who reported to the dermatology outpatient clinic due to a large, ulcerated tumor of the scalp measuring approximately 12 × 10 cm. Based on the interview with the patient, it was determined that the tumor appeared more than 10 years before and was gradually increasing in size. Clinically, advanced basal cell carcinoma was suspected, which was confirmed by histopathological examination. After considering possible therapeutic options in agreement with the patient, the medical board decision qualified her for radiotherapy treatment.
