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

Eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC) constitutes a rare malignant adnexal tumor, which accounts for about 0.005-0.01% of all cutaneous malignancies. It may develop de novo or arise from an eccrine poroma, after a latency period of years or even decades. Accumulating data suggest that specific oncogenic drivers and signaling pathways may be implicated in its tumorigenesis, while recent data have demonstrated a high overall mutation rate attributed to UV exposure. Diagnosis may be challenging and should rely on the combination of clinical, dermoscopical, histopathological and immunohistochemical findings. The literature is controversial regarding tumor behavior and prognosis and, therefore, there is no consensus on its surgical management, utility of lymph-node biopsy and further adjuvant or systemic treatment. However, recent advances in tumorigenesis of EPC may aid in the development of novel treatment strategies, which could improve survival of advanced or metastatic disease, such as immunotherapy. This review presents an update of the epidemiology, pathogenesis and clinical presentation of EPC and summarizes current data on diagnostic evaluation and management of this rare cutaneous malignancy.
