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

PurposeTo explore the relationship between systemic comorbidities and presenting tumor T category in patients with uveal melanoma.MethodsSingle-center, retrospective cohort study of patients with posterior uveal melanoma initially diagnosed between January 2000 and December 2016. Univariate and multivariate ordinal logistic regression analyses were performed to identify comorbidities associated with presenting tumor T category, as classified by AJCC criteria.ResultsInitial presenting AJCC T category was T1 in 190 (43%), T2 in 130 (29%), T3 in 89 (20%), and T4 in 38 (9%). The most common comorbidities present were hypertension (250 patients, 56%), hyperlipidemia (211, 47%), obesity (137, 31%), and diabetes mellitus (87, 19%). Of these, obesity (
