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

We report a 66-year-old Chinese lady who presented with a three-month history of postprandial vomiting, early satiety, anorexia and weight loss, and significant physical findings of hepatomegaly and ascites. Gastroscopy revealed gastric polyposis with both hyperpigmented and unpigmented lesions over the gastric fundus, body, and proximal antrum, biopsies of which yielded malignant melanoma histologically. Cross-sectional imaging with CT also demonstrated extensive hepatic and bony metastases. No cutaneous or ocular primary was detected. She was treated with a combination of ipilimumab and nivolumab but developed interval progression of hepatic metastases after two cycles of immunotherapy. The patient eventually succumbed two months after diagnosis.
