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 recurrence of cutaneous melanoma is one of the main reasons for surveillance after primary tumor treatment, and there is still little data on melanoma recurrence related to the Brazilian population. Objective: We sought to evaluate the profile of patients with cutaneous melanoma recurrence within five years of (early) and five years after (late) initial diagnosis. Methods: Patients diagnosed between 2006 and 2014 in a private reference service in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, were included. Demographic, clinical, histopathological, and disease evolution variables were collected and analyzed using the R version 4.0.0 program. A Results: The sample was composed of 331 patients with melanoma, and the 43 patients with recurrence presented with higher mean age ( Conclusion: The possibility of cutaneous melanoma recurrence after five, and even 10, years, although rare, might indicate the need for longer medical follow-up. Multicenter studies may better characterize Brazilian patient profiles of those with early and late recurrence of melanoma.
