Gallbladder and small bowel metastasis of regressive melanoma: a case report.
Article in BJR case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Malignant melanoma development in gastrointestinal (GI) tract may be primary or secondary. Although small bowel, colon and stomach represent common GI sites affected from metastatic cutaneous malignant melanoma (cMM), more than 90% of the cases are identified only during autoptic examinations. Therefore, the diagnosis in a living patient of gallbladder metastasis from cMM is considered extremely rare. We aimed to describe a case of metastatic melanoma involving the gallbladder, the stomach and the small bowel in a 78-year-old male with diffuse abdominal pain and a history of cMM of the back, which was radically resected 4 years before. Abdominal ultrasound showed intracholecystic multiple nodulations. CT, besides confirming the gallbladder nodules, revealed multiple masses in the stomach, duodenum and ileum. Malignant melanoma lesions were confirmed by histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses of bioptic material obtained from endoscopic examination. In patients with history of melanoma, careful inspection of GI tract should be prompted adopting adequate imaging techniques and endoscopy in order to better influence treatment planning and prognosis.
