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

Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy and can occur in the choroid, the ciliary body, or the iris. It is most often diagnosed based on clinical examination by an ophthalmologist. Nearly all patients present with visual symptoms. Characteristic findings on clinical examination include pigmented or pale choroidal masses with serous retinal detachments and acoustic hollowness seen with ocular ultrasonography. CT and MRI of the orbits are not traditionally utilized for the diagnosis of uveal melanoma. We present 3 cases in which uveal melanoma was an incidental finding on neuroimaging for unrelated conditions in asymptomatic patients. Radiologists should maintain a high suspicion for uveal melanoma when an intraocular mass of greater than 2 mm in thickness is seen on CT or MRI.
