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

Introduction: Uveal melanocytomas are benign melanocytic proliferations characterized histologically by large polyhedral cells, abundant intracytoplasmic melanin, small centrally located nuclei, and low nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratios (N:C). Activating missense changes of the G-protein subunits, Case Presentation: A 56-year-old female presented with gradual, painless vision loss in the left eye. On exam, a large (11.1 × 12.8 × 10.6 mm by ocular ultrasound), hyperpigmented ciliochoroidal mass was found in the superior nasal quadrant abutting the lens. The patient elected for enucleation given the tumor's large size and vision loss in the affected eye. An fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy of the fresh mass, collected immediately after enucleation, revealed no mutations in the 7-gene DecisionDX-UMSeq panel. Histologic and immunohistochemical evaluation of pupil-optic nerve cross-sections from the formalin fixed paraffin embedded enucleation revealed a ciliary body melanocytoma. DNA extracted from the melanocytoma enucleation cross-sections was sequenced for 197-clinically actionable tumor genes through the Stanford's Actionable Mutation Panel for Solid Tumors (STAMP). The sequencing results confirmed no mutations in Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first reported uveal melanocytoma lacking
