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

Despite the depth of knowledge concerning the pathogenesis of melanoma, the most aggressive type of skin cancer, the prognosis and survival of patients still remain a challenge. In addition, responses to chemotherapy and immunotherapy are still poor, which underscore an urgent need in the development of new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of melanoma. Recently, the dynamic role of autophagy has gained considerable interest in the pathogenesis and treatment of melanoma. Whereas a decrease in autophagy activity promotes melanoma formation by increasing oncogene-induced tumorigenesis and DNA damage accumulation, an enhanced level of autophagy sustains melanoma cell viability and contributes to drug resistance. Obviously, the understanding of autophagy regulation may lead to a better defining melanoma pathogenesis and the progression toward new treatment options. In this review, we present new insights into a dual role of autophagy during melanoma tumorigenesis. In addition to summarizing current therapeutics for treating melanoma, we discuss how autophagy manipulation may improve the patients' outcome. Finally, autophagy-modulating drugs and nanoparticles, alone or in combination with current therapeutics, are proposed for possible clinical use in melanoma management.
