Clinicopathological profile and outcomes of anorectal melanoma from a tertiary care center in India.
Article in Future science OA, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Anorectal melanoma (AM) is a rare subtype of melanoma. Aim: To study the clinic-pathologic features and outcomes in patients with AM. Materials & methods: Clinical, pathologic findings and outcomes of patients with AM were recorded. Results: Twenty-seven patients with AM were identified with median age of 57 years. Most patients presented in stage III (44.4%). Lymph node involvement was seen in 70.4%. The response to chemotherapy and immunotherapy was 16.6 and 25.0%, respectively. At a median follow up of 11 months, median overall survival was 30 months. Ballantine stage 3 and weight loss at presentation were predictors of poor survival. Conclusion: AM presents at an advanced stage with lymph node and distant metastasis.
