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 can involve the gastrointestinal apparatus as both primary and metastatic lesions. Primary anorectal mucosal melanoma (ARMM) and metastatic gastric melanoma are rare entities and usually resulted in a poor prognosis. We presented a case of a 61-year-old man who after the complete excision of an ARMM developed a gastric metastasis after almost three years form the complete tumour excision. Upon esophagogastroduodenoscopy, a giant ulcered mass resulted in melanoma metastasis. The patient underwent a near-total gastrectomy. After five months of follow-up, the patient is disease-free. The incidence of ARMMs is increasing, highlighting the necessity of new prevention and treatment strategies in order to achieve a better prognosis for these patients. There are no known risk factor for ARMMs but surgery, together with the combination of anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 antibodies, are promising therapeutic options. Early and aggressive treatments are required, together with a strict multidisciplinary approach.
