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

Although rare, uveal melanoma is the most common intraocular tumor in adults. Most cases arise from the choroidal layer of the uvea, displaying a discoid, collar-button, or mushroom shaped growth. Histopathologically, neoplasms are classified by the dominant cell type: spindle, epithelioid or mixed spindle cell type. The most important prognostic factors are cell type, nucleolar size, largest tumor dimension, and mitotic figures. Patient prognosis is poor when metastases occur in the liver, one of the main reasons that despite advances in the diagnosis and treatment of uveal melanoma, the mortality rate has not change significantly since 1973.
