More Than Just an Abscess: An Unusual Case of Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 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
Anal squamous cell carcinoma remains a rare malignancy of the lower gastrointestinal tract. We report a 39-year-old woman who presented with recurrent perianal abscesses initially suspected to be from fistulizing Crohn's disease. Despite appropriate antibiotics and drainage, her symptoms persisted. Multiple endoscopic evaluations were performed, with initial biopsies showing only chronic inflammation. Repeat sigmoidoscopy ultimately revealed moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. The patient underwent a diverting colostomy for symptom relief and was treated with chemoradiation, resulting in significant tumor reduction. This case highlights the importance of considering malignancy in patients with persistent perianal disease, particularly when inflammatory bowel disease has been ruled out.
