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

Patients with melanoma brain metastases (MBM) have a dismal prognosis, but the unprecedented advances in systemic therapy alone or in combination with local therapy have now extended the 1-year overall survival rate from 20-25% to nearing 80-85%, mainly in asymptomatic patients. The histopathological and molecular characterization of MBM and the understanding of the microenvironment are critical to more effectively manage patients with advanced melanoma and to design biologically driven clinical trials. This review aims to give an overview of the main histopathological features and the immune-molecular aspects of MBM.
