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

Objective: The aim of this study was to systematically elucidate the crosstalk mechanisms between metastatic melanoma and vitiligo and to establish vitiligo and metastasis-based biomarkers as well as to find drug candidates. Methods: The genes associated with vitiligo and metastatic melanoma were obtained through differential expression analysis and WGCNA using publicly available data from GEO and TCGA. A prognostic model and nomogram for melanoma were subsequently constructed using hub genes based on machine learning algorithms. A comprehensive assessment was conducted of the correlation between hub genes and overall survival, functional annotations, immune cells and immune checkpoint genes. At the single-cell level, we conducted scoring using the AUCell algorithm and CellChat analysis to facilitate more profound biological exploration. The Cmap database and molecular docking methods were used to screen drug candidates. Results: Following the screening process, a total of six hub genes ( Conclusion: Our study firstly provides new insight into the genetic crosstalk between metastatic melanoma and vitiligo that may facilitate the development of personalized treatments.
