Evidence of 18 F-FDG Utility in Rare Case of Metastatic Anal Melanoma With Prolonged Survival.
Article in Clinical nuclear medicine, 2025. 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
abstractA 43-year-old woman presented with an anorectal mass at which time excision was performed, and biopsy revealed anorectal mucosal melanoma (AM), anal subtype. Postexcision, 18 F-FDG PET/CT identified residual melanoma, confirmed on biopsy. Recurrence was monitored every 3 months using 18 F-FDG, which identified a perirectal lymph node 2.5 years later positive for metastatic melanoma. Given the rarity of AM and often delayed diagnosis, patients often present with metastases, resulting in poor prognosis. This unique case of metastatic AM with prolonged survival of 7 years to date supports the implementation of 18 F-FDG in the diagnostics and monitoring of AM.
