Metastatic PRAME-Expressing Juvenile Spitzoid Melanoma on the Buttock.
Article in Case reports in oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Since the cost of molecular biological methods for Spitzoid neoplasms is expensive, the number of institutes that employ these methods might be limited. Preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma (PRAME) is a tumor-associated antigen that is useful to distinguish melanoma from other melanocytic disorders, including pediatric Spitzoid tumors that are difficult to diagnose by conventional methods alone. In this report, we report a case of PRAME-expressing juvenile Spitzoid melanoma with lymph node metastasis. Unexpectedly, there were few PRAME-expressing cells in the primary tumor, whereas most metastatic tumors expressed PRAME in the metastatic lymph node. These observations might suggest that, in Spitzoid melanomas, a limited number of melanoma cells possess metastatic potential and that metastatic lesions possess clonality.
