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

objectiveThe main objective of this paper is to emphasize the importance of the early diagnosis of certainty in the cases of acral-acroma malignant melanoma in order to increase the survival rate.

methodThe paper is a review of specialty literature and presents a clinical case of acral-acroma malignant melanoma. Clinical case: acral-acroma malignant melanoma with confirmed lymph node metastases and possibly secondary remote dissemination to the skin in a male patient aged 16 years. We conducted histo-pathological and immunohistochemical examinations of the collected tissue-fragments.

resultsThe results obtained from the histochemical and immunohisto-chemical examinations are presented, as well as the problems of differential diagnosis.

conclusionThe early diagnosis of certainty significantly increases the survival rate. Knowledge and awareness of the population on the use of preventive measures regarding the occurence of the acral-acroma malignant melanoma is therefore required.
