Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2023. 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
objectiveThe aim of the present study was to analyze mutations of the mast/stem cell growth factor receptor Kit (KIT) gene in patients with melanoma from Eastern Siberia regions of the Russian Federation.
methodsKIT gene mutations in exons 11 and 13 were analyzed by Sanger sequencing in 57 tumor samples obtained from patients with KIT-positive melanomas localized in preferable locations.
resultMutations were identified in 21% of patients. Among them, multiple mutations were identified in five patients. A total of 18 mutations were observed in the KIT gene, of which three were deletions and fourteen substitution mutations. Age, gender and clinicopathological characteristics of patients with cutaneous KIT-positive melanoma in Eastern Siberia corresponded to the European population. According to computational prediction tools, all mutations were evaluated as potentially harmful.
conclusionThe six novel mutations reported in the present study expand our knowledge on the molecular pathogenesis of melanoma, which can be used to further explore methods to improve disease therapeutic strategies.
