Combined microscope and endoscopy total resection of primary pineal malignant melanoma: case report and literature review.
Review in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPrimary pineal malignant melanoma (PPMM) is a rare entity of primary central nervous system melanomas, with only 26 cases reported in the literature to date. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 65-year-old male with a PPMM who has prolonged survival of more than 104 weeks after combined microsurgical and endoscopic total resection. This is the first report: combined microscope and endoscopy total resection; PPMM in China; PPMM with total resection alone.
conclusionCombined microscope and endoscopy total resection is beneficial to prolong the survival of patients. But the best approach to treatment needs verification from more clinical cases in future.
