Minimal invasive treatment of liver and kidney metastasis in mucosal melanoma of the right inferior turbinate.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This case report describes an 80-year-old female patient who initially presented with nasal epistaxis. The patient had a history of atrial fibrillation and arterial hypertension. Computed tomography of the facial sinuses revealed a large mass in the inferior right turbinate with slight expansion into the maxillary sinus. Endoscopic excision of the right nasal cavity was performed, and the histologic workup revealed mucosal melanoma of the nasal cavity (cT3, cN0, cM0). A medial maxillectomy of the right side, including 2 biopsies within 1 month, showed no signs of recurrence. After 1 year, the patient was diagnosed with liver and renal metastases in a follow-up CT, which were treated with stereotactic radiofrequency ablation. After spending 2 weeks in the intensive care unit due to postoperative complications, the patient recovered and was discharged from the hospital in good condition. A promising alternative minimally invasive therapeutic strategy, highlighted by our case, should be considered as a primary goal of tumor reduction.
