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

Background Overall survival (OS) for patients with uveal melanoma (UM) hepatic metastases is extremely poor. Therefore, stabilization of hepatic metastases is essential to prolonging OS. Purpose To assess the safety and effectiveness of radioembolization (RE) for treatment of UM hepatic metastases. Materials and Methods Enrollment for this prospective phase II trial began November 2011 and concluded January 2017. Treatment-naïve participants (group A) and participants who progressed after immunoembolization (group B) with hepatic tumor burden less than 50% underwent RE. Participants were followed for 1 month and every 3 months for acute and delayed toxicities, respectively. MRI, CT, and PET were performed every 3 months to evaluate for tumor response and extrahepatic disease. Participants were followed for at least 2 years or until death. Kaplan-Meier method and multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used for data analysis. Results In group A, 24 participants (mean age ± standard deviation, 59 years ± 13; 13 men and 11 women) underwent unilobar (
