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

Melanoma is the most aggressive and deadly form of skin cancer. However, advances in the understanding of its biology have led to the development of several new therapeutic approaches. One of these novel treatment strategies is based on the targeting of the mitochondrial bioenergetic and networks responsible for tumor initiation and progression. Indeed, it has recently emerged that changes in mitochondrial metabolism, dynamics, redox homeostasis, and apoptosis are strictly associated with tumor growth, metastasis, and drug resistance. In this review, we summarize current evidence about the multiple biological functions exerted by mitochondria in melanoma, also focusing on the role of these organelles as promising targets for pharmacological intervention.
