Gender differences in melanoma awareness, diagnosis and treatment: Patient-reported data from a multicentre survey in Switzerland.
Article in Skin health and disease, 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
There is a need to understand the journey of patients with melanoma, including any associated gender differences, to identify aspects in the patient journey that could be improved. We used data collected from an online survey completed by adults with stage III or IV melanoma at three Swiss melanoma centres to understand patients' perceptions of their healthcare journeys from melanoma diagnosis to treatment and the relevance of treatment attributes (Figure 1). We identified that there is a need to improve communication about the testing process and gender differences in terms on information needs, relevance of treatment attributes and attitudes towards psychological support.
