An Interesting Rare Case Report of Primary Amelanotic Melanoma With Distant Metastasis.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Anorectal malignant melanoma (ARMM) is a rare and highly aggressive type of melanoma that originates in the anorectal area. It represents a small fraction of all melanoma cases and is often associated with poor prognosis due to its late presentation and challenging treatment options. Rectal malignant melanoma typically presents with symptoms such as rectal bleeding, pain, and obstructive symptoms. Diagnostic imaging and histopathological examination are crucial for accurate diagnosis, often requiring a combination of endoscopy, biopsy, and immunohistochemical staining. Treatment primarily involves surgical resection, though adjuvant therapies such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation may be utilized depending on disease stage and metastasis. The prognosis remains guarded, with survival rates significantly lower compared to cutaneous melanoma, attributed to late-stage diagnosis and high likelihood of metastatic spread. Here we are reporting a case of ARMM presenting late with lung, skeletal, and liver metastasis.
