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

Primary malignant melanoma of the genitourinary tract is extremely rare. We present two such cases in elderly Caucasian females. An 81-year-old female with urinary retention and polypoid urinary bladder mass and a 72-year-old female with gross hematuria and urethral caruncle. After thorough evaluation, they were both eventually diagnosed with primary urogenital melanoma (SOX10 and MART1-positive in tumor cells). In both cases, the presence of melanoma-
