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

aimThe Clinical Application of DecisionDx-UM Gene Expression Assay Results study aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of the prognostic 15-gene expression profile (15-GEP) test for uveal melanoma (UM) patients in a large, prospective multicenter cohort. PATIENTS &

methodsNine centers prospectively enrolled 138 UM patients clinically tested with the 15-GEP. Physician-recommended specialty referrals and metastatic surveillance regimens were collected.

resultsA total of 93% of high-risk class 2 patients were referred to medical oncology for follow-up, compared with 51% of class 1 patients. A majority (62%) of class 2 patients were recommended overall high-intensity metastatic surveillance, while 85% of class 1 patients were recommended low-intensity metastatic surveillance.

conclusionTreatment plan recommendations for UM patients are aligned with GEP-informed metastatic risk, consistent with prior studies.
