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

The spectrum of dermato-oncological emergencies is multifaceted. They are particularly observed in cases with malignant melanoma due to the large number of patients and prolonged survival rates that are associated with new therapies for advanced disease. Dermato-oncological patients present to the hospital with symptoms like nausea and emesis, unexpected neurological deficits, various gastrointestinal problems, and even acute abdomen, acute breathlessness, or hemoptysis. Furthermore, emergencies can be caused by hematological problems like anemia and leukopenia. In addition to standardized care for medical emergencies, there are many other problems caused by metastases and/or therapeutic side effects that need interdisciplinary skills to optimize procedures and deliberate on surgical interventions, radiotherapy, and medical therapeutic choices with regard to the overall situation of the patient. The article deals with a spectrum of acute organ-specific emergencies, including recommendations for medical treatment and considerations for therapeutic decisions. Recommendations for supportive care in patients who are severely ill are summarized. In addition to stage-adapted pain therapy, supportive measures such as nutritional supplementation, the use of dronabinol in cases of loss of appetite, and antipruritic therapies are outlined. This article provides a succinct summary of the most frequently observed dermato-oncological emergencies with references to the respective detailed literature of associated medical societies and guidelines.
