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

purpose of reviewUveal melanoma (UM) is the most common intraocular malignancy in adults, representing a rare but aggressive melanoma subtype with a distinct molecular landscape, unique metastatic behavior and limited therapeutic options in the metastatic setting. This review provides an in-depth analysis of the latest evidence on the evolving treatment landscape of metastatic UM. RECENT

findingsFor liver-only metastatic disease, locoregional therapies provide significant benefit compared to systemic therapies. The recent approval of tebentafusp-tebn, a bispecific gp100 peptide-HLA-directed CD3 T-cell engager, marks a pivotal advancement for HLA-A*02:01-positive patients with unresectable/metastatic UM, demonstrating a clinically significant survival benefit. Several clinical studies are currently active, examining emerging locoregional and systemic treatments for metastatic UM, with promising early data. Despite effective local disease control through radiotherapy and enucleation, approximately 50% of patients develop metastatic disease, predominantly in the liver, with a median survival of less than one year. The approval of tebentafusp represents a landmark achievement in UM treatment, while promising experimental combinations have demonstrated clinical utility in late phase clinical trials, offering hope for further improvement in patient survival.
