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

Regressive melanoma is a phenomenon characterized by partial or complete replacement of cutaneous melanoma by fibrotic structures as a result of local host immune response. The dermoscopic features include 'scar-like' depigmentation that can be described as hypopigmented to pigmented macules, pink macules, linear-irregular vessels, globular vessel pattern, hyperpigmented macular remnants, blue gray 'peppered' papular remnants and white transverse bands. Fully regressive melanoma is very rare, and, in majority of cases, the tumor is associated with metastases, so the prognosis is very poor due to this fact. Regressive melanomas are rare since it represents an advance stage of melanoma evolution. Their treatment requires a collaboration between the dermatologist and the oncologist in order to improve the quality of life of the patient and also the survival rate.
