Delayed presentation of a giant vulvar squamous cell carcinoma in a low-resource setting: a case report.
Article in International journal of surgery 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
Introduction and importance: Vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) is the most common vulvar malignancy and is typically diagnosed at an early stage. However, delayed presentation in low-resource settings may result in advanced disease, requiring complex management. Presentation of case: We report a 47-year-old woman with a 2-year history of a progressively enlarging vulvar mass. Examination revealed a giant exophytic tumor (22 × 15 × 12 cm) with bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging showed no invasion of adjacent structures. Histopathology confirmed Grade 1 VSCC with nodal metastasis (FIGO stage III). The patient underwent wide local excision with bilateral inguinofemoral lymph node dissection and reconstruction using gracilis myocutaneous flaps. She received adjuvant chemotherapy but was lost to follow-up after four cycles. Clinical discussion: Delayed presentation contributes to advanced disease. Socioeconomic and healthcare access barriers influence both diagnosis and treatment adherence. Conclusion: This case highlights the consequences of delayed presentation and the need for improved access to early detection and care.
