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

backgroundDesmoplastic melanoma (DM) is a rare subtype of spindle cell malignant melanoma characterized by frequent local recurrences and hematogenous spread, but without molecular classification. The aim of the study was to investigate in a DM series the incidence of relevant gene alterations in cancer, the programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression status and the association with clinicopathological features and melanoma progression.

methodsA total of 38 patients were included. Clinical follow-up and the histopathological features of all cases were retrospectively collected. PD-L1 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and

resultsTumors occurred predominantly in men (76%) and in the head and neck region (50%). Most tumors were pure DMs (66%), containing less than 10% of conventional melanoma. Overall, 48% of our cohort harbored

conclusionsOur results suggest that progressed DMs with deep tumoral infiltration frequently harbor
