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

Melanoma, one of the most virulent forms of human malignancy, is the primary cause of mortality from cancers arising from the skin. The prognosis of metastatic melanoma remains dismal despite targeted therapeutic regimens that exploit our growing understanding of cancer immunology and genetic mutations that drive oncogenic cell signaling pathways in cancer. Epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation/demethylation, histone modifications and noncoding RNAs recently have been shown to play critical roles in melanoma pathogenesis. Current evidence indicates that imbalance of DNA methylation and demethylation, dysregulation of histone modification and chromatin remodeling, and altered translational control by noncoding RNAs contribute to melanoma tumorigenesis. Here, we summarize the most recent insights relating to epigenetic markers, focusing on diagnostic potential as well as novel therapeutic approaches for more effective treatment of advanced melanoma.
