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

Melanoma tumors are the most heterogeneous of all tumor types. Tumor heterogeneity results in difficulties in diagnosis and is a frequent cause of failure in treatment. Novel techniques enable accurate examination of the tumor cells, considering their heterogeneity. The study aimed to determine the somatic variations among high and low proliferating compartments of melanoma tumors. In this study, 12 archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples of previously untreated primary cutaneous melanoma were stained with Ki-67 antibody. High and low proliferating compartments from four melanoma tumors were dissected using laser-capture microdissection. DNA was isolated and analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Libraries for amplicon-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) were prepared using NEBNext Direct Cancer HotSpot Panel. NGS detected 206 variants in 42 genes in melanoma samples. Most of them were located within exons (135, 66%) and were predominantly non-synonymous single nucleotide variants (99, 73.3%). The analysis showed significant differences in mutational profiles between high and low proliferation compartments of melanoma tumors. Moreover, a significantly higher percentage of variants were detected only in high proliferation compartments (39%) compared to low proliferation regions (16%,
