Comprehensive Genomic Profiles of Melanoma in Veterans Compared to Reference Databases.
Article in Federal practitioner : for the health care professionals of the VA, DoD, and PHS, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Veterans represent a unique patient population with various exposures that may predispose them to cancer. Mutational signatures associated with these exposures are described in other tumor types. Methods: This retrospective review analyzes the comprehensive genomic profiling reports of 35 veterans with metastatic melanoma at a large US Department of Veterans Affairs medical center. The genomic findings were compared with those from the Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer and The Cancer Genome Atlas. Results: The melanomas found in these veterans showed a significantly higher frequency of variants in Conclusions: The presence of statistically significant differences between the genomic findings from the veterans' melanomas and those of general population melanomas from reference databases suggests that additional research is warranted to corroborate these differences and clarify their etiologic, prognostic, and therapeutic relevance.
