Stage IIA Skin Melanoma Treatment With ECHO-7 Oncolytic Virus Rigvir.
Article in The Permanente journal, 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
Melanoma is a global problem due to the rising numbers of skin melanoma cases. Current treatment guidelines for patients with stage IIA melanoma recommend only observation after surgery. In this report, the authors describe a patient with stage IIA skin melanoma treated with surgery and Rigvir virotherapy. Two years after the patient discovered a brown spot on the right cheek, surgery was indicated because the mass had started to ulcerate. Rigvir virotherapy was applied both before and after surgery. Observations made more than 7 years after surgery indicated no signs of disease progression. This case report illustrates an early treatment approach. Neoadjuvant treatment for early-stage melanoma is gaining more interest in both scientific and medical communities; therefore, the authors believe it is relevant to share their observations.
