Exploring the implications of the first COVID-19 lockdown on patients with melanoma: a national survey.
Article in Clinical and experimental dermatology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic upon care of malignant melanoma (MM) remains as yet poorly understood. We undertook a UK-wide national survey, in conjunction with a patient support group (Melanoma UK), to explore patient perceptions of the impact of the pandemic upon treatment and outpatient care of their MM. Our findings suggest that following the onset of COVID-19, a significant minority of treatments and appointments have been delayed, there has been a shift from face-to-face to virtual outpatient consultations and there may be a rise in psychological comorbidities in patients with MM. We would urge clinicians to consider mental health interventions as part of a holistic care package.
