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

Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. Although UM and cutaneous melanoma are derived from melanocytes, UM differs clinically and biologically from its more common skin counterparts. More than half of primary UMs metastasize. However, there is currently no effective treatment for metastatic UM. Therefore, studying mutations related to the metastasis, growth, proliferation, and survival of UM can help researchers understand its pathogenesis and metastatic mechanism, thereby leading to a more effective treatment. In addition, we provide an overview of the recent basic and clinical studies to provide a strong foundation for developing novel anti-carcinogenesis targets for future interventions.
