Surgical management of oligometastatic recurrence in primary esophageal melanoma: a feasible approach in resource-limited settings.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Primary esophageal melanoma (PEM) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with limited treatment options. Due to its rarity, no standardized guidelines exist for managing oligometastatic recurrence, particularly in resource-limited settings. We present a case of a 60-year-old male with PEM who underwent esophagectomy followed by surgical resection of an adrenal metastasis. Despite the increasing use of immunotherapy, surgical resection remains a viable alternative for oligometastatic recurrence when access to systemic therapies is restricted. This case highlights the feasibility of surgery in achieving long-term disease control in select patients. Further studies are needed to establish evidence-based strategies for treating PEM recurrence in resource-constrained environments.
