Demystifying cutaneous cystic squamous cell carcinoma: a case report and review of the literature.
Article in Journal of surgical 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
Cystic squamous cell carcinoma (cySCC) is a variant of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma that manifests clinically as a cystic lesion instead of a solid tumor. Owing to their benign appearance, accurate diagnosis and treatment are often delayed. We report a case of a 55-year-old male presenting with a scalp lesion. The patient was keen for removal of the lesion as it was bothersome, although there were no overt sinister features on history nor examination. An excision biopsy was performed and histopathological examination revealed a cySCC. A wider excision was subsequently performed and the patient made an uneventful recovery. The number of cases of cySCC reported in the literature has been increasing. Clinical suspicion for malignancy must be high for any evolving lesion. The diagnosis of cySCC may only be apparent on histopathological examination. Prompt wider excision and further imaging studies are essential upon confirmation of cySCC.
