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: We report the clinical, imaging, histopathological, and genetic features of a choroidal metastasis originating from a cutaneous melanoma. Case Presentation: A 92-year-old woman presented with an asymptomatic pigmented lesion in her right eye. She had a history of prior cutaneous melanoma. Workup revealed widespread metastases to the liver, lungs, and brain. Histopathology (post-mortem eye) showed melanoma cells of the epithelioid cell type. Genetic analysis was positive for the BRAF V600K variant, confirming the cutaneous origin of the choroidal tumour. Conclusion: Choroidal metastasis of a cutaneous melanoma is a rare manifestation that can be mistaken for a primary choroidal melanoma. A comprehensive clinical history, histopathology, and genetic analysis are useful in distinguishing between the two entities.
