Comparative study of cutaneous malignant melanoma according to anatomical site: plantar versus non-plantar melanoma.
Article in Archives of dermatological research, 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
Plantar melanomas have more aggressive clinicopathological characteristics and higher mortality rates than melanomas in other anatomical regions. To compare clinicopathological features and define prognostic factors between melanoma in the plantar region and melanoma at other anatomical sites. A retrospective comparative analysis was conducted on all cutaneous melanoma patients seen at a tertiary referral center over 20 years. Patients were categorized into two groups: those with plantar melanoma and those with non-plantar melanoma. This study included 239 patients, comprising 186 patients with plantar melanoma (77.8%) and 53 with non-plantar melanoma (22.2%). Plantar melanoma was more common in males and older individuals and was associated with greater Breslow depth (p < 0.001), deeper Clark invasion (p < 0.001), and a higher incidence of ulceration (p = 0.02). Lymphovascular and visceral metastases were frequently observed in plantar melanoma patients (p = 0.013). Multivariate analysis indicated that Breslow thickness (p = 0.019), the presence of distant metastasis (p = 0.016), and lesions in traumatized areas (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with the plantar melanoma group. The plantar area should be considered a site associated with poor prognosis.
