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

aimTo understand patient preferences for treatment attributes in adjuvant and metastatic melanoma in the UK. MATERIALS AND

methodsPatients with stages II-IV melanoma completed an online survey from November 2022 to February 2023 comprising two discrete choice experiments (DCE) exploring efficacy, safety, and dosing regimen.

resultsOut of 104 respondents, 100 and 102 patients completed DCEs for adjuvant (Adj-DCE) and metastatic (Met-DCE) settings, respectively. 4-year relapse-free survival (RFS) for Adj-DCE (33%), and 4-year overall survival (OS) for Met-DCE (40%) had the highest relative attribute importance (RI), followed by risk of grade ≥3 adverse events (29% versus 26%, respectively). Patients with advanced melanoma or BRAF mutation had significantly higher RI for RFS and OS.

conclusionPatients, especially those with advanced melanoma or BRAF mutation, perceive efficacy as the most important factor in determining choice of treatment.ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTSIn the UK, melanoma is the 5
