A Rare Melanoma Variant: Small Cell Malignant Melanoma Metastasis in the Lymph Node.
Article in Journal of cytology. 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
Small cell malignant melanoma (SCMM) is a rare melanoma variant, and its prognosis is worse than other melanomas. A case of SCMM metastasis on the mediastinal lymph node is presented in this study. A 54-year-old male patient had a lesion on the palmar side of the right hand and mediastinal lymph node metastasis. Fine needle aspiration biopsies were performed from the lymph nodes. Cytologically, cellular smears consisted of isolated discohesive cells, nuclear aggregates, small layers of cells, and pseudo-rosettes. Two kinds of cells were observed: one with small, round-oval cells, and the other with small to medium cells. Immunohistochemically, tumor cells were positive with S-100, SRY-related HMG-box gene 10, MelanA, and human melanoma black 45. Friend leukemia virus integration 1 was positive in over 10% of tumor cells. Metastatic malignant melanoma may present with different cytomorphologic features. SCMM is a tumor to be aware of because it can be confused with other small round blue cells and misdiagnosed.
