Article in Oncotarget, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDetermination of BRAF status is important for the therapeutic management of patients with metastatic melanoma.
objectivesWe evaluated the impact of a faster determination of BRAF mutational status on the delay between initial consultation and initiation of treatment.
resultsFor the FA-PCR group a median delay of 16 days [11;18] was observed between initial consultation and the implementation of treatment, which was significantly lower than that observed for the SOP group (26 days [20;46],
conclusionsIn comparison to using conventional SOP, using an FA-PCR platform for BRAF mutation analysis of patients with metastatic melanoma significantly reduced the delay in initiation of personalized therapy by 10 days. MATERIALS AND
methodsAnalysis of the BRAF mutation status of eight formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples was performed using a CE-IVD fully-automated (FA) PCR-based platform. The delay between initial consultation and the implementation of treatment was compared between these samples (FA-PCR group) and a retrospective group of 29 FFPE samples analysed by standard operating procedures (SOP group) using conventional PCR.
