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

Introduction: The burden of melanoma is increasing globally. Despite the use of immunotherapy and targeted therapy, the prognosis of metastatic melanoma remains relatively poor. The integration of comprehensive molecular profiling can lead to the detection of actionable biomarkers and the expansion of treatment options, thereby prolonging cancer patient survival. Case Presentation: We herein present the case of a female 54-year-old patient diagnosed with melanoma of the right knee, for which she underwent surgery. Patient showed progression of disease after 10 cycles of adjuvant nivolumab. Ipilimumab (1 mg/kg every 3 weeks) was added to the treatment regimen but no clinical improvement was observed. Molecular profiling was conducted based on patient tissue, and an Conclusion: Profiling of advanced tumors is important to determine the presence of agnostic markers that can be targeted and ultimately improve the prognostic outcome of patients after the failure of standard of care.
