Clinical and histopathological characteristics of melanomas in Asians under age 40.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Previous studies suggested racial difference between young melanomas of Caucasians and non-Caucasians. This study aimed to elucidate characteristics of melanomas in young Asians. We analyzed clinical and histologic characteristics of patients under age 40 diagnosed with cutaneous melanomas including in situs. Survival and subgroup analyses were conducted. Among the 45 patients investigated, the most common anatomical sites of melanomas were lower extremities (22/45, 45.3%) and acral lentiginous type was the most common histological variety (18/45, 40%), of which 12 were subungual type. Lymph node involvement and nodular histologic type were significant prognostic factors. Age subgroup analysis revealed that clinical and histopathologic features of adolescents (15-21 years old [YO]) were distinct from those of young adults (22-39 YO), but similar to children (0-14 YO) who showed amelanotic nodules (p < 0.01) and spitzoid subtypes (p < 0.001). Pediatric melanomas (< 20 YO), showed racial differences based on sex (p < 0.01), an-atomical site (p < 0.001), histologic types (p < 0.001), and lymph node involvement at diagnosis (p < 0.047). Understanding the differences among age groups will help clinicians decide management of melanomas in young Asian patients.
