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

Imaging technologies are constantly being developed to improve not only melanoma diagnosis, but also staging, treatment planning, and disease progression. We start with a description of how melanoma is characterized using histology, and then continue by discussing nearly two dozen different technologies, including systems currently used in medical practice and those in development. For each technology, we describe its method of operation, how it is or would be projected to be most commonly used in diagnosing and managing melanoma, and for systems in current use, we identify at least one current manufacturer. We also provide a table including the biomarkers identified by and main limitations associated with each technology and conclude by offering suggestions on specific characteristics that might best enhance a technology's potential for widespread clinical adoption.
