Review in Journal of surgical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Melanoma affects over one million people in the United States. This review explores genetic mutations and markers of all seven subtypes. Current treatment options and prognosis of each subtype are also discussed. For lentigo maligna, spitzoid, and nodular subtypes, BRAF was the most common mutation reported. For superficial spreading, TP53 was the most common. Acral lentiginous demonstrated CCDN1 and desmoplastic NF1 most frequently. No mutations have been identified in the nevoid subtype. Nodular melanoma is the deadliest subtype. Evidence suggests that the subtypes differ in regard to genetic markers/mutations, treatment and prognosis. Therefore, subtype should be considered when treating a melanoma patient.
