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

Retinoblastoma and uveal melanoma are the most common intraocular malignancies observed in pediatric and adult populations, respectively. For retinoblastoma, intra-arterial chemotherapy has dramatically improved treatment outcomes and eye salvage rates compared with traditional salvage rates of systemic chemotherapy and external beam radiation therapy. Intravitreal injections of chemotherapy have also demonstrated excellent efficacy for vitreous seeds. Uveal melanoma, on the other hand, is treated predominantly with iodine-125 plaque brachytherapy or with proton beam therapy. Major strides in uveal melanoma genomics have been made since the early 2000s, allowing ocular oncologists to better understand the metastatic risks of the tumor on the basis of specific genetic signatures.
