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

Purpose: To report a rare case of congenital uveal malignant melanoma from Indian subcontinent in an infant with multiple cutaneous naevi and no distant metastasis. Observation: An 8 month old male child presented with proptosis and black discoloration in the right eye since birth. Enucleation of the right eye was performed and specimen sent for histopathology and immunohistochemical analysis. Results were strongly suggestive of a malignant melanoma of uvea. No metastasis was found on MRI scan of brain, chest and abdomen. Patient is on close follow up and will be subjected to metastasis workup every 6 months. Conclusion and importance: This entity of congenital uveal malignant melanoma is rather rare with very few reported cases across the globe and needs further understanding of its correct line of treatment.
