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

Skin cancer affects 1 in 5 Americans, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Treatment costs and rates of skin cancer and melanoma continue to rise, making preventative measures increasingly important. However, there is conflicting evidence about efficacy of primary and secondary prevention strategies in decreasing incidence and improving early diagnosis. The US Preventative Services Task Force 2016 guidelines did not endorse routine skin cancer screening because of "insufficient evidence." Yet, countries like Australia have shown the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of primary sun safety interventions and secondary prevention measures such as routine skin cancer surveillance. Additional emerging evidence shows that regular skin cancer screening in high-risk populations improves early detection and decreases melanoma mortality. New technology may enhance prevention, promote accurate diagnoses, and improve management of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers. Here, we place rising rates of melanoma within historical context, review costs, efficacy, and evidence for primary and secondary skin cancer prevention and examine the evolving role of novel technologies in the field.
