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 has now become the subject of targeted therapies, based upon the high prevalence of B-raf mutations in melanoma. However, while initial responses to B-raf inhibitors are impressive, resistance is extremely common, suggesting that melanoma is not addicted to B-raf. In their report, Syed et al. demonstrate that fisetin, a natural product without well established mechanisms, has activity against melanoma. Their report suggests that "nontargeted therapies" need to become part of our armamentarium against melanoma, given that targeted therapies do not target all of the pathways required for melanoma growth.
