A rare and challenging case of amelanotic subungual melanoma from Syria.
Article in Melanoma management, 2024. 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
Subungual melanoma accounts for 1.9% of cutaneous melanomas. Amelanotic cases, comprising 15-25%, poses a significant diagnostic challenge because it can be misdiagnosed as other traumatic, inflammatory, or neoplastic conditions. This often leads to delayed diagnosis and subsequently, a poor prognosis. We present a case of an 83-year-old woman with a bleeding, painful and progressive lesion on the nail area of her right middle finger initially misdiagnosed as paronychia at a rural clinic four months ago. An incisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of amelanotic subungual melanoma. Amputation of the affected finger was performed successfully. Imaging studies showed no metastatic disease. This case underscores the importance of early recognition and management of subungual melanoma, particularly in remote rural areas, to optimize patient outcomes.
