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

Human skin melanoma is one of the most aggressive and difficult to treat human malignancies, with an increasing incidence over the years. While the resection of the early diagnosed primary tumor remains the best clinical approach, advanced/metastatic melanoma still remains with a poor prognosis. Indeed, although enormous progress in the therapeutic treatment of human tumors has been made in recent years, patients affected by metastatic melanoma are still poorly affected by these clinical advances. Therefore, new valuable therapeutic approaches are urgently needed, to design and define effective treatments to consistently increase the overall survival rate of patients affected by this malignancy. In this review we summarize the main signaling pathways studied to kill human skin melanoma, and introduce the ferroptotic cell death as a new pathway to be explored to eradicate this tumor.
