Revealing the concealed: A tribute to Donald L. Morton, MD.
Article in Clinical & experimental metastasis, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Donald L. Morton, MD, epitomized one of America's dream scenarios: a person evolving from the humblest of origins to become an international celebrity in his profession, leading the world in the discipline of surgical oncology. His pioneering accomplishments in various roles have been well documented. Scientists, clinicians, students, and patients benefited from his contributions to the management of malignant diseases, particularly melanoma. His many attributes in pursuing the goal to cure malignant diseases are well known. Browsing the scientific literature reveals an almost unmatched publication record and continuous National Institutes of Health funding. He revealed dozens of original concealed ideas, not least of which is the tumor-draining regional lymph node, now called the sentinel lymph node (SLN). When others gave up on the original promise of immunotherapy, he saw the future, the clinical promise which has lately materialized in the control of previously untreatable malignancies. He regarded the fellowship-training of more than 100 surgical oncologists as one of his biggest achievements. In this article, we celebrate the human side of a man with creative courage and far-reaching insight.
