Current surgical management for melanoma.
Article in The Journal of dermatology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Melanoma is a major malignant cutaneous neoplasm with a high mortality rate. In recent years, the treatment of melanoma has developed dramatically with the invention of new therapeutic agents, including immune checkpoint inhibitors and molecular-targeted agents. These agents are available as adjuvant therapies for postoperative patients with stage IIB, IIC, and III melanomas. Furthermore, neoadjuvant therapy has been studied in several global clinical trials and has demonstrated promising and favorable clinical efficacy, mainly in patients with palpable regional lymph nodes. A recent large phase III clinical trial investigating early lymph node dissection for sentinel lymph node metastases demonstrated no survival benefits. Based on these data, surgery should be reconsidered as an appropriate treatment modality for melanoma. The need for invasive surgical procedures will be reduced with the invention of effective adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies and novel clinical trial data on regional lymph node dissection. However, surgery still plays an important role in treating early-stage melanoma, accurately determining the disease stage, and effective palliative treatment for advanced melanoma. In this article, we focus on surgery for primary tumors, regional lymph nodes, and metastatic sites in an era of remarkably revolutionary drug treatments for melanoma.
