Clinical Suspicion Sensitivity of Nodular and Superficial Spreading Melanoma.
Article in Acta dermato-venereologica, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
In Norway, nodular melanoma is the most fatal melanoma subtype and superficial spreading melanoma the most common, indicating diagnostic challenges. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical suspicion sensitivity of nodular melanoma and superficial spreading melanoma, by diagnosing physician, using randomly selected 100 nodular melanomas and 100 superficial spreading melanomas from the Norwegian Melanoma Registry, diagnosed in 2014 to 2015. Information about suggested diagnoses and diagnosing physician was collected from pathology request forms. Suspicion sensitivity was defined as the proportion (%) of cases with "melanoma" as a suggested diagnosis, estimated with 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Most melanomas (74.5%) were diagnosed by non-dermatologists, with a suspicion sensitivity of 23% (95% CI 15-34) for nodular melanoma and 24% (95% CI 16-35) for superficial spreading melanoma. Corresponding estimates for dermatologists were 50% (95% CI 32-68) and 96% (95% CI 80-99), respectively (pinteraction=0.007). The low suspicion sensitivity for both subtypes among non-dermatologists calls for educational efforts.
