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

The primary clinical factor influencing survival in uveal melanoma (UM) is the onset of liver metastases. Managing uveal melanoma liver metastases (UMLM) remains difficult, as conventional systemic therapies infrequently yield durable responses and are linked with poor outcomes. Nonetheless, liver surgery continues to be the preferred strategy for improving prognosis in patients with potentially resectable metastases. Additionally, under certain conditions, debulking of the tumor has demonstrated effectiveness in delaying hepatic metastatic disease progression when it is technically achievable. This report describes our surgical approach to bilobar liver metastases from UM with hepatic vein infiltration, emphasizing both surgical techniques and outcomes, and explores the potential for maximal tumor reduction in UMLM following an extended disease-free interval between primary UM treatment and liver metastasis detection.
