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

Many individuals with localized melanoma undergo wide local excision and live many years with the surgical scar. The present case describes a basal cell carcinoma arising from a malignant melanoma excision scar. There are no similar reports in the literature. A 69-year-old female with a 25-year remote history of localized melanoma treated with wide local excision presents with two new lesions overlying the scar. The lesions were confirmed to be a basal cell carcinoma and dysplastic nevi on punch biopsy. Complete scar excision is performed. This report warns of the possibility of secondary primary malignancy arising from within the scar of a previous malignancy excision. With any changes to a scar, a prompt biopsy should be performed and treatment administered appropriately depending on the diagnosis.
