Deep Dermal and Subcutaneous Deposits in Thin Melanoma: A Cautionary Tale.
Article in Journal of cutaneous pathology, 2026. 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
Melanoma microsatellites are peritumoral metastatic deposits and surrogates for potentially aggressive biological behavior. Their presence indicates clinical stage III disease. They are rarely reported in association with thin primary tumors (< 1.0 mm, pT1). As a poor prognostic factor, the identification of microsatellitosis in an otherwise localized, thin primary melanoma would result in upstaging and additional investigative and therapeutic considerations. Therefore, when microsatellitosis is suspected, efforts should be made to exclude possible mimics. We present three cases of thin melanomas with deep dermal/subcutaneous deposits to highlight the importance of careful and thorough gross and microscopic examination of all melanoma cases, regardless of T-category.
