Malignant Melanoma in the Groin Masquerading as a Vascular Tumour: A Rare Cytodiagnosis.
Article in Cureus, 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
Malignant melanoma (MM) is an aggressive cutaneous neoplasm tending to metastasise anywhere within the body. It frequently metastasises to the draining lymph nodes. A distinct presentation of MM occurs when metastatic lesions appear in the regional lymph nodes, while the primary tumour remains clinically undetected. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is highly sensitive, rapid, and cost-effective. The utility of the FNAC procedure is well established in the patient's diagnostic workup. However, the Indian data on the cytodiagnosis and cytomorphology of metastatic MM are very scarce. We submit a clinicopathological profile of a rare case in a 68-year-old male, where FNAC from an inguinal mass led to the diagnosis of metastatic MM, which mimicked clinically as a vascular tumour. The present case highlights MM's unusual clinical presentation and cytomorphological details through FNAC.
