Primary diffuse meningeal melanomatosis - a rare form of meningeal melanoma: case report.
Article in BMC neurology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundMeningeal melanomatosis is a rare type of central nervous system neoplasm (with incidence ranging between 3 and 5%) that develops in the course of malignant melanoma. In a small percentage of cases, meningeal melanomatosis may develop without a primary focus. It affects the leptomeninx. The clinical activity of the disease is uncharacteristic, with a number of neurological symptoms developing over weeks or months. CASE PRESENTATION: A 45-year-old male patient presented with consciousness disturbance, cognitive dysfunctions, seizures and progressive paresis. None of the examinations performed, including cerebrospinal fluid examination, neuroimaging and biopsy of the leptomeninges, permitted us to establish a diagnosis during the patient's hospital stay. The diagnosis of meningeal melanomatosis was established after an autopsy had been carried out.
conclusionsIn the absence of unequivocal test results, it is also worth taking into account the primary changes in the leptomeninx, including those caused by melanoma.
