Recurrent melanoma 25 years after initial diagnosis, presenting as metastatic disease early after heart transplantation.

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
backgroundCancer survivors (CS) comprise a particularly high-risk group for both de-novo and recurrent malignancies after solid organ transplantation. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of relapsed melanoma, presented as metastatic disease seven months after heart transplantation in a patient who had an early-stage melanoma resected 25 years prior. Treatment with a combination of dabrafenib, a BRAF inhibitor, and trametinib, a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitor resulted in a near-complete metabolic response, without major adverse effects.
conclusionThis case demonstrates the increased risk of recurrence in CS with melanoma, which can persist decades after cancer diagnosis. These patients may be amenable to treatment using modern treatment modalities in oncology.
