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

Introduction: Keratinocyte carcinomas (KCs), including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), are common skin malignancies with a growing incidence in Poland. Aim: The aim is to generate a face map involving topography and frequency of KCs in particular anatomical areas. Material and methods: A group of 649 patients with 786 head skin cancers treated at the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery (Lodz, Poland) were enrolled in 2017-2024. The following variables were analysed: sex, age, type of skin cancer, BCC subtype, SCC grading, and anatomical location of the lesions. Results: Facial skin cancers were located primarily in the nasal ( Conclusions: BCC is the most common skin cancer on the face. Among facial KCs, BCC is more frequent in nasal and periorbital areas, while SCC has a predilection for auricular and scalp regions. These findings underscore the importance of the anatomical site in the clinical assessment and diagnosis of skin cancers.
