Patient outcome prediction using multiple biomarkers in human melanoma: A clinicopathological study of 118 cases.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
The application of biomarkers in melanoma prognosis has been well recognized. However the ability of a single biomarker to predict melanoma patient outcome is usually limited. We previously examined the expression of ten biomarkers (Bim, BRG1, BRMS1, CTHRC1, ING4, NQO1, NF-κB-p50, PUMA, SNF5 and SOX4) in melanomas. To assess the value of a combined multiple biomarker system in melanoma prognosis, we compared the expression of each biomarker between various stages of melanoma, and determined the best combination of biomarkers for melanoma prognosis. Although the expression of six biomarkers (Bim, BRMS1, ING4, NQO1, PUMA and SOX4) was significantly decreased in AJCC III-IV stages of melanoma compared to AJCC I-II stages, the combined 6-biomarker index score exhibited higher variations than any individual biomarker in the same comparison. Moreover, the 6-biomarker index score was correlated with melanoma thickness, location and subtype, and predicted the outcome of melanoma patients more accurately than the individual biomarkers. Multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that the 6-biomarker index score is an independent prognostic factor for melanoma. In conclusion, our study suggests that a multi-biomarker system test is valuable for improved outcome prediction in melanoma patients and for the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
