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

backgroundRecent years have seen major changes in the diagnosis and treatment of solid intraocular tumors, mainly owing to an improved molecular biological understanding of their pathogenesis, new therapeutic approaches for the local treatment of tumors in children, and long-term follow-up observations in clinical trials.

methodsThis review is based on pertinent publications retrieved by a selective search in PubMed.

resultsRetinoblastoma is the most common type of primary intraocular tumor, with approximately 8000 new cases per year around the world, while malignant melanoma of the uvea is the most common primary intraocular tumor in adults, with approximately 7000 new cases per year around the world. Intraocular metastases of malignant tumors are ten times more common, in terms of incidence, than primary intraocular tumors and are therefore the most common intraocular tumors overall. Improved methods of intraocular biopsy, diagnostic imaging, and molecular genetic investigation have led to steady improvement in clinical and predictive diagnostic assessment. In the treatment of retinoblastoma, local techniques including brachytherapy and intra-arterial and intravitreal chemotherapy play a prominent role. Prognostic molecular-genetic testing now enables the highly selective identification of uveal melanomas that have a high potential to metastasize. Cutaneous and uveal melanomas differ both in their clinical behavior and in their basic biological features; to date, effective systemic treatment has been established for melanoma of the skin, but not for metastatic melanoma of the uvea. Intraocular metastases are common and often the initial manifestation of an extraocular tumor, particularly lung cancer.

conclusionModern diagnostic and therapeutic concepts for intraocular tumors can only be implemented through the close interdisciplinary collaboration of ophthal - mologists, oncologists, radiologists, radiotherapists, pathologists, and human geneticists.
