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

Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PCACC) is a rare, slow-growing malignant adnexal tumor of the skin first described in the 1970s. We present the case of a 63-year-old man who developed a slow-growing nodule on the right forearm, an atypical location for this tumor. The diagnosis of PCACC was confirmed by histopathological examination. This report discusses the pathological, dermoscopic, and radiological characteristics of the lesion, as well as its successful management with wide local excision. This case underscores the importance of considering PCACC in the differential diagnosis of slow-growing cutaneous nodules, even when it occurs at unusual sites. While dermoscopy can provide valuable diagnostic clues, a definitive diagnosis necessitates histopathological evaluation. Wide local excision remains the standard therapeutic approach to minimize the risk of local recurrence, and long-term follow-up is imperative due to the potential for delayed recurrence.
