Effects of Exogenous Hormones and Reproductive Factors on Female Melanoma: A Meta-Analysis.
Review in Clinical epidemiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Epidemiological findings on the effects of hormones on melanoma risk have been inconsistent. We therefore conducted a meta-analysis to examine the relationship between exogenous hormonal and reproductive factors and the risk of melanoma in women. We performed a search of PubMed, Web of Science, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database through April 2020 for relevant studies. Based on heterogeneity, we performed the meta-analysis of the risk estimates using either fixed effect or random effect models. We identified 38 studies that met the analytical criteria, involving 3,571,910 participants. The results showed that long-term use of oral contraceptives (OC) may increase the risk of melanoma in women (≥5 years [pooled RR=1.18; 95% CI: 1.07-1.31; I
