Melanoma Great Debate: Targeted Versus Complete Nodal Dissection Following Neoadjuvant Therapy for Melanoma: Is it Time to Push Forward or Hold Off on Continued De-Escalation of Surgery?
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The management of stage III melanoma has undergone profound change with the advent of effective systemic therapies and the growing use of neoadjuvant immunotherapy. This paper highlights the issues raised and points discussed during the Great Debates session at the 2024 SSO Conference in Atlanta, focusing on the necessity of therapeutic lymph node dissection (TLND) after index lymph node (ILN) surgery.
