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

Melanoma presenting in the gastrointestinal tract is commonly due to metastasis from a primary cutaneous or ocular lesion. There have been a few case reports of primary GI melanoma which is commonly seen in the rectum and anus. We report a case of a 77-year-old man who presented with GI bleeding and was found to have a primary small bowel melanoma. This case highlights how to approach the workup of a melanoma lesion found in the GI tract.
