Rapidly growing well-differentiated cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the scalp in a patient who was immunosuppressed.
Article in Skin health and disease, 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
A 74-year-old heart and kidney transplant recipient on long-term immunosuppressive drugs developed a rapidly enlarging well-differentiated cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) of the scalp. Delays related to multidisciplinary reassessment and intercurrent sepsis allowed for substantial tumour progression, ultimately precluding surgery and necessitating palliative radiotherapy. This case highlights that even well-differentiated cSCC may progress rapidly in patients who are immunosuppressed, underscoring the importance of timely treatment whenever feasible.
