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

Melanomas are highly malignant tumors that readily metastasize and have poor prognosis. Targeted therapy is a cornerstone of treatment for patients with melanoma. Although c-Kit gene aberration has found in 5-10% of melanoma cases, research on c-Kit inhibitors for melanoma with c-Kit aberration have been disappointing. Sorafenib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, whose targets include c-Kit, platelet derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), VEGFR and RAF. The present study aimed to examine the effect of sorafenib on metastatic melanoma with c-Kit aberration. Cell viability was assessed via trypan blue assay. Migration and invasion were analyzed using cell culture inserts. The anti-metastatic effects and antitumour activity of sorafenib were determined in an
