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

Adjuvant therapy is widely used in melanoma cases because recurrence of disease after surgery is notoriously difficult to treat and usually results in the patient's death. Clinicians have a fundamental influence on the patient's decisions regarding adjuvant therapy, beginning with providing a clear understanding of the risk of specific types of recurrence based on features of the primary melanoma and status of the sentinel nodes and then explaining the morbidity of surgical treatment with and without adjuvant therapy. This review summarizes the role of adjuvant immunotherapy and radiation in the treatment of high-risk melanoma. We review the risks of specific types of recurrence as well as the potential oncologic benefits and relevant toxicities of available adjuvant therapies for high-risk melanoma.
