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

objectiveIn conjunctival melanoma, local chemotherapy has been based so far on clinical evidence and limited to the therapy of melanoma in situ. Our aim was to define substances that may have the potential to add to therapeutic options in extended local growth and metastatic disease. Two conjunctival cell lines (CRMM-1 and CRMM-2) have been established from recurrent conjunctival melanoma. In this study, we examined the chemosensitivity of these cell lines to different cytotoxic substances. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe cell lines CRMM-1 and CRMM-2 were exposed to chemotherapeutics for 24 h and the IC50 was generated. Sulforhodamin-B assays were used for quantification of in vitro efficacy. Time of exposure and escalating concentrations of the substances were adapted to the experimental setting.

resultsBortezomib, clusianone 502 (nemorosone), ranpirnase, and sorafenib were efficient in inhibiting the growth of conjunctival melanoma cell lines. The IC50 achieved concentrations below or around 10 μM for these substances.

conclusionsBortezomib, clusianone 502, ranpirnase, and sorafenib inhibited growth in conjunctival melanoma cell lines efficiently. The new substances may be a suitable alternative for local therapy. New therapeutic options with highly specific targeted agents for metastatic disease have to be evaluated in further experiments.
