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.

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.

Abstract

Since 1976, melanoma-prone families have been followed at the National Cancer Institute to identify etiologic factors for melanoma. We compared risks of melanoma and other cancers in 1,226 members of 56 families followed for up to 4 decades with population rates in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program. All families were tested for mutations in CDKN2A and CDK4; 29 were mutation-positive and 27 mutation-negative. We compared rates of invasive melanomas, both first and second, by family mutation status, with Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program. Comparing three calendar periods of the study, risk of first primary melanoma decreased slightly. Risks of melanoma after first examination, however, were approximately one-third the risks prior to the first examination in both mutation-positive and mutation-negative families. Among patients with melanoma, risk of a second melanoma was increased 10-fold in all families; risk was somewhat higher in mutation-positive families. Risks of other second cancers were increased only for pancreatic cancer after melanoma in mutation-positive families. Over 4 decades, prospective risk of melanoma has decreased substantially in both mutation-positive and mutation-negative families, when melanoma has greatly increased in the general population.
