What's new in pediatric melanoma and Spitz tumors? Pretty much everything.
Article in Cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
lay summaryPathologists sometimes have great difficulty in determining whether a mole biopsied from the skin of a child is benign or malignant. New molecular technologies have helped pathologists to identify pediatric melanomas, but there are still some atypical moles that cannot be definitively classified as benign or malignant. With further research, it is hoped that the number of these atypical tumors can be decreased and that the treatment for all children with moles and melanoma can be improved.
