Screening and novel diagnostic technologies for melanoma: an update.
Review in Melanoma management, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Melanoma incidence has increased over recent decades, yet mortality has been relatively stable. This pattern has raised concern that many newly diagnosed melanomas, particularly melanoma in situ, may reflect overdiagnosis rather than a true increase in disease burden. Screening can detect melanoma earlier but is likely associated with overdiagnosis and overdetection, which may lead to excess morbidity with little survival benefit. This review examines global trends in melanoma incidence and mortality, the effects of screening programs, and the consequences of overdiagnosis. We evaluate both population-based and risk-directed screening strategies and assess diagnostic tools such as dermoscopy, total body photography, and artificial intelligence devices. Further research is needed to determine how these adjunctive technologies can be effectively integrated into screening strategies to improve clinical outcomes.
