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

Background: Advances in genetic testing allow clinicians to identify patients with pathogenic variants that increase their risk of skin cancer. Whether this information results in more frequent dermatology screening visits as recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines is unknown. Objectives: Our objective was to evaluate compliance with NCCN dermatology screening guidelines among patients with skin cancer-predisposing pathogenic variants and to determine whether visiting a Hereditary Cancer Clinic (HCC) would improve adherence to skin cancer screening. Methods: We employed a retrospective observational cross-sectional design in a consecutive sample of 230 patients with pathogenic variants in Results: Overall compliance with dermatology visits improved from 11.1% before HCC visits to 37% after visiting the HCC ( Conclusions: HCC visits and personal and family history of skin cancer were associated with improved adherence to NCCN dermatology screening guidelines among patients with skin cancer-predisposing variants. Thus, dedicated HCCs could improve early detection and intervention of premalignant and malignant skin lesions. Additional studies that include a larger number of minority patients are required to confirm these findings.
