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

Increased angiogenesis is associated with a higher metastasis- and mortality rate in uveal melanoma (UM). Recently, it was demonstrated that genetic events, such as 8q-gain and BAP1-loss, influence the level of immune infiltrate. We aimed to determine whether genetic events, and specific cytokines, relate to angiogenesis in UM. Data from UM patients who underwent enucleation between 1999 and 2008 were analysed. Microvascular density (MVD) and the presence of infiltrating immune cells were determined with immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence in 43 cases. Chromosome status, BAP1 IHC and mRNA expression of angiogenesis-related genes were known in 54 cases. Tumours with monosomy 3/BAP1-loss showed a higher MVD compared to tumours with disomy 3/normal BAP1 expression (
