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

Malignant melanomas occurring in the central nervous system are mostly metastatic. Primary intracranial malignant melanomas are a rare entity, accounting for 0.07% of all brain tumors. In the central nervous system, melanocytes originate from the neural crest cells that are found in the leptomeninges. Only a few cases of malignant melanoma primarily arising from the brain have been reported in the literature to date. We report a rare case of primary intracerebral malignant melanoma in a 39-year-old female. Through this case report, our aim is to highlight the role of imaging in the early diagnosis and management of malignant melanoma.
