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

Amelanotic signet ring cell melanoma is one of the rare variants of malignant melanoma. Here we are presenting a case of a 58-year-old female with chief complaints of swelling in the left sternal region/breast, and right cervical region. Contrast Enhanced CT scan showed the two well circumscribed lobular mass lesions with central necrosis in the left breast. The radiologist opined the lesions as intramammary nodes. Biopsy from the larger breast mass lesion showed a tumour with cells arranged in discohesive pattern less with hetrogenos morphology. These tumour cells had a predominantly signet ring morphology along with markedly pleomorphic tumour cells and giant cells. These tumour cells were negative for pan CK and positive for S100, HMB45. So the case was diagnosed as metastatic amelanotic malignant melanoma with signet ring morphology.
