Autophagy in Melanoma: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Perspectives.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. 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
Melanoma is a malignant tumor that originates in pigment-producing cells called melanocytes. This type of cancer remains a major public health challenge due to its high metastatic potential and resistance to treatment. Autophagy is a catabolic process that enables the controlled degradation of damaged cellular organelles and unnecessary or abnormal macromolecules. Its primary function is to maintain intracellular homeostasis and cell survival. There are three main types of autophagy: macroautophagy, microautophagy and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). The role of autophagy in oncogenesis is multifaceted and context-dependent-depending on the type of cancer and its stage of development. Autophagy can either promote tumor progression or act as a tumor-suppressive mechanism. Factors influencing the role of autophagy in cancer include inflammation, crosstalk with apoptosis and resistance to anticancer therapies. Current research is focused on the use of both autophagy inhibitors and autophagy inducers as potential strategies to improve the effectiveness of melanoma treatment.
