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

backgroundMetastatic uveal melanoma is a highly aggressive disease with no standard of care treatment option. A large proportion of patients have liver-only metastatic disease which raises the question if liver-directed therapy can be efficacious in this subpopulation.

aimsThe study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of radiosensitizing chemotherapy in combination with yttrium-90 microspheres in patients with uveal melanoma with liver-only metastases. METHODS AND

resultsThis single arm, open labeled, non-randomized study enrolled 10 patients with liver-only metastatic uveal melanoma between November 2012 and January 2018. Eligible patients received intrahepatic yttrium-90 microspheres followed by intravenous cisplatin (20 mg/m

conclusionThe combination of cisplatin with yttrium-90 microspheres was well tolerated; however, it was associated with intrahepatic disease control of relatively short duration. No responses were seen in patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors post radioembolization.
