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

Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults, with distinct genetic and clinical characteristics compared with cutaneous melanoma. Despite improvements in the treatment of the primary tumour, nearly half of the patients will develop distant metastases, most commonly in the liver. Once metastases are detected, the median overall survival is approximately 1 year, with a 2-year survival rate of only 8%. Systemic treatment, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, has historically shown limited efficacy. The first (and so far only) systemic treatment to demonstrate an improvement in overall survival is tebentafusp, which is now approved for treatment of patients with metastatic or unresectable uveal melanoma and an HLA-A*02:01 genotype. Liver-directed therapies include surgical resection, radioembolization, chemoembolization, immune-embolization, isolated hepatic perfusion, and percutaneous hepatic perfusion. This review discusses the clinical background of uveal melanoma and liver metastasis, the efficacy of systemic and locoregional treatment options, and the promising development of combining locoregional liver-directed treatment with systemic treatment.
