Electrochemotherapy in the treatment of basal cell carcinoma of the head and neck: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSkin areas chronically exposed to solar radiation, such as the face, neck, scalp, and upper limbs, are at significantly increased risk of developing basal cell carcinoma. The objective of this case report is to describe the treatment of a basal cell carcinoma located on the chin using electrochemotherapy in a patient with advanced heart disease, a condition that contraindicated invasive surgical intervention. CASE PRESENTATION: An 83-year-old Caucasian female patient presented with a persistent nodular lesion on the chin, present for approximately 6 months. The diagnosis of cutaneous basal cell carcinoma was confirmed through histopathological analysis of tissue obtained via punch biopsy of the lesion. A single electrochemotherapy application was sufficient. Monitoring was discontinued at 24 months due to the patient's death from cardiac causes. Her clinical condition did not allow for further diagnostic procedures such as biopsy or positron emission tomography-computed tomography.
conclusionIn the present study, the patient successfully underwent a single session of electrochemotherapy, with a favorable outcome and no complications. The therapeutic approach allowed us to avoid general anesthesia while ensuring effective treatment of the neoplastic lesion with excellent aesthetic outcomes.
