Axillary Lymph Node Malignant Melanoma of Unknown Primary Origin: A Case Report From Japan.
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 of unknown primary origin (MUP) is a rare disease predominantly reported in Caucasian individuals. In this paper, we report a rare case of MUP. We treated a 75-year-old Japanese man with an MUP localized to the axillary lymph nodes. The primary tumor could not be identified despite available investigations. We performed radical lymph node dissection and administered postoperative adjuvant therapy using the molecular-targeted drugs dabrafenib and trametinib. Ten months after surgery, the patient experienced a favorable clinical course with no recurrence or complications from surgery or medication. The frequency and clinical characteristics of malignant melanoma differ among ethnic groups, and very few reports of MUP have been documented in East Asia.
