Progression of Cutaneous Vitiligo in a Patient with Large Posterior Choroidal Melanoma: A Case Report.
Article in Ocular oncology and pathology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimsThe aim of our study was to report a case of progression of cutaneous vitiligo after large posterior choroidal melanoma diagnosis.
methodsThe clinical history, fundus findings and histopathological features suggest the diagnosis of cutaneous vitiligous progression after a diagnosis of large posterior choroidal melanoma.
resultsA 30-year-old female, with a personal history of cutaneous vitiligo for 12 years, was diagnosed with choroidal melanoma 18 months previously. The cutaneous vitiligo had progressed over her back, body and arms during the preceding 3 years. She refused treatment because she was in her 28th week of pregnancy. When she came to our clinic her visual symptoms had worsened, and the fundus examination showed a melanocytic choroidal mass. After confirming that there was no extraocular extension, she was treated with enucleation. A histopathological study confirmed the choroidal melanoma diagnosis.
conclusionThe association between the progression of vitiligo and the diagnosis of uveal melanoma could be considered a good prognostic factor, as has been described in cases of cutaneous melanoma. A longer follow-up of these patients will allow us to confirm this association.
