Association Between Uveal Melanoma and Allostatic Load.
Article in Anticancer research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimAllostatic load (AL) is a measure of chronic stress that is associated with worse cancer outcomes. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate the relationship between AL and uveal melanoma (UM) clinical features. PATIENTS AND
methodsAL score was calculated as a composite of ten biomarkers in 111 patients with UM from the University of Illinois Hospital. One point was assigned to an AL score for each biomarker based on predetermined cutoff values. Linear and logistic regression analyses evaluated the relationship between AL score and several tumor clinical characteristics.
resultsHigh AL score had a significant relationship with extraocular extension (p=0.015). There was also a significant difference in mean blood glucose levels between the different tumor size groups (p=0.029). Higher AL scores also had a trend of being associated with a smaller tumor size (p=0.069).
conclusionAL score was significantly associated with the presence of extraocular extension for uveal melanoma, while the smallest tumor size group was associated with the highest blood glucose level. No other significant correlations were found between AL and other clinical features of UM. The relationship between AL score and extraocular extension warrants further investigation. Additional research is needed to evaluate socioeconomic factors and their effect on the relationship between chronic stress and the clinical features of UM.
