A Clonogenic Assay to Quantify Melanoma Micrometastases in Pulmonary Tissue.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Metastatic melanoma is one of the most aggressive types of cancers, diffused worldwide and with a significant percentage of lethality. The employment of animal models to test therapeutic strategies against melanoma growth and metastatic spread is of key relevance for cancer biologists. In this regard, the count of metastatic foci in murine lung tissue is one of the recognized methods to monitor macrometastases of melanoma. Here, we illustrate a clonogenic assay method to detect with high sensitivity the presence of single melanoma cells (micrometastases) at the pulmonary level when metastatic foci are still not detectable in the tissue. This method allows for high precision detection and quantification of melanoma metastatic spread to the lung at early stages.
