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

Melanoma incidence is increasing, with distinct genetic and clinical patterns observed in the Latin American population. This study aimed to evaluate melanoma risk in a Colombian cohort through polygenic risk analysis using 37 variants across nine genes previously associated with melanoma. We performed polygenic risk score (PRS) analysis on 85 melanoma patients and 165 controls. Genotyping was performed for 37 melanoma-associated SNPs, and on the basis of previous GWAS reports, individual PRSs were calculated for each participant. The participants were then stratified into quartiles to examine risk gradients. In addition, phenotypic features such as eye and hair color were evaluated, and genetic models and haplotype analyses were performed, adjusting for sex and family history of cancer. PRS quartile stratification revealed a clear risk gradient. Notably, 31.8% of the melanoma cases were clustered in the highest-risk quartile (Q4), with a maximum PRS of 1.04. Variants in
