1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Understanding the impact of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) on acral melanoma (AM) and the tumor microenvironment (TME) is critical. We analyzed TLS features in primary AM lesions from 46 patients and identified intratumoral TLSs (intra-TLSs) in 25 patients. Intra-TLS presence was significantly associated with improved overall survival. Hematoxylin and eosin staining and multiplex immunofluorescence revealed increased T-cell and CD8
