Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis of malignant melanoma:Two cases with rim signs in contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging: A case report.
Article in Molecular and clinical oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Spinal cord metastasis of malignant melanoma is mostly caused by the invasion of the spinal cord by malignant melanoma. However, direct metastasis in the spinal cord is rare and difficult to diagnose accurately. A few diagnostically valuable findings of intramedullary spinal cord metastases (ISCMs) have been published. However, a highly specific finding of ISCMs of all carcinomas is the 'rim sign', which signifies the enhancement of the edge-dominant effect of the lesion in contrast-enhanced MRI. The objective of this case series was to examine the ratio of ISCMs of malignant melanoma with an indication of rim signs in contrast-enhanced MRI. The present report describes two cases of ISCMs of malignant melanoma in which the rim sign in contrast-enhanced MRI was useful for diagnosis.
