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

Achievements in cancer genetics and molecular biology have revolutionized the treatment options available for advanced melanoma. Patients with certain molecularly defined melanomas have been the most fortunate beneficiaries of recently US FDA-approved therapies that target aberrant MAPK pathway signaling, yet response rates and duration of response remain suboptimal. Furthermore, many patients harbor melanomas for which no approved targeted therapies currently exist. Since the approval of vemurafenib, a selective BRAF V600E inhibitor, in 2011, there has been a surge of preclinical and clinical studies aimed at developing novel targeted therapies for a wide range of molecularly defined melanomas. In this review, we will examine the present status and future potential of molecularly targeted therapies directed at the most significant oncogenic signaling pathways in melanoma.
