Spontaneous rupture of a solitary oligometastatic hepatic melanoma.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A mid-50s woman presented with acute right upper quadrant pain 1-day post second cycle of pembrolizumab. She has a significant history for two concurrent malignancies: a solitary oligometastatic hepatic melanoma (NRAS mutant) of unknown primary diagnosed 2 months prior, and a 10-year history of breast carcinoma with pulmonary metastases on palliative chemotherapy. Multiphase CT scan demonstrated active venous bleeding without active arterial bleeding. The patient received two units of packed red blood cells, followed by selective transcatheter arterial embolisation (TAE) of the right hepatic artery branches to segment 7 and 8. Spontaneous rupture of solitary liver metastases are exceedingly rare. TAE is a safe and effective treatment choice in patients with spontaneous rupture. Given progressive tumour burden, changes in management with a different immunotherapy agent can be considered.
