Diagnostic challenges and importance of early multidisciplinary intervention in acral melanoma: a case report.
Article in Dermatology reports, 2026. 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
Acral melanoma (AM) is a rare subtype of melanoma that occurs on acral sites such as the palms, soles, and subungual regions. Due to its atypical presentation and frequent lack of pigmentation in the amelanotic variant (AAM), diagnosis is often delayed, leading to a poor prognosis. We present the case of a 69-year-old woman with a chronic nail lesion that was initially misdiagnosed as onychomycosis and treated with partial onychectomy without histological evaluation. The lesion persisted, and subsequent dermatological evaluation revealed an ulcerated exophytic mass, which was confirmed as an acral nodular melanoma with a Breslow thickness of 7.5 mm. Despite surgical amputation, the patient's management was complicated by wound infection and limited therapeutic options due to comorbidities. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of AM and emphasizes the importance of early histopathological assessment and multidisciplinary collaboration for timely intervention and improved outcomes.
