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

We report a man in his 80s who presents with epigastric abdominal pain and fatigue for 2 weeks. His medical history was significant for left toe acral melanoma (excised 6 years prior) and a lung mass, further workup for which was declined at the time by the patient. On presentation, he had iron deficiency anaemia and esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a gastric mass. Histopathological analysis of gastric and subsequently, pulmonary, lesions were consistent with metastatic melanoma. This case demonstrates the unique slow progression of untreated pulmonary metastasis in metastatic melanoma.
