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

BACKGROUND/

aimAcral melanomas (AM) represent a rare subgroup of melanomas with poor clinical outcomes and are enriched in Asian populations. Recent advances in next generation sequencing have provided opportunities to apply precision medicine to AM. PATIENTS AND

methodsHere, we present a series of 13 patients with melanomas from Taiwan and Singapore, including 8 patients with AM profiled using whole exome sequencing and summarize the recent studies on the genomic landscape of AM.

resultsWe identified mutually exclusive mutations in BRAF, NRAS, HRAS, NF1 and KIT in 6 AM cases. In addition, recurrent copy number gains in CCND1 and CDK4, as well as recurrent deletions in CDKN2A/CDKN2B, ATM and RAD51 were observed, supporting the potential use of CDK4/6 or PARP inhibitors in the treatment of these patients.

conclusionThe genomic landscape of AM provides an important resource for applying novel targeted therapies in this rare disease.
