Characteristics, Treatments, and Survival of Uveal Melanoma: A Comparison between Chinese and American Cohorts.
Article in Cancers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common intraocular malignant carcinoma. This study aimed to compare the clinical features, treatment modalities, and prognosis of UM patients in China with those in America over a 15-year period. In the study, 4088 American patients with primary UM from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and 1508 Chinese patients from Tongren-ophthalmology Research Association of Clinical Evaluation (TRACE) were included. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to determine prognostic factors and propensity score matching (PSM) and sensitivity analyses were applied to adjust for confounders and identify independent prognostic factors. Chinese patients were diagnosed at a younger age (mean ± SD, 47.3 ± 12.5 years vs. 59.7 ± 14.8 years) and tumors at diagnosis were larger (diameter: 12.0 ± 3.54 mm vs. 11.3 ± 8.27 mm; thickness: 7.13 ± 3.28 mm vs. 4.91 ± 3.01 mm). Chinese patients were more likely to undergo brachytherapy than American patients. Chinese patients had better overall survival than American patients while no significant differences exhibited after adjusting for age through PSM. In conclusion, compared with American patients, Chinese patients had younger onset age, larger tumors at diagnosis and better prognosis, mainly because of their younger age.
