Epigenetics of Malignant Melanoma: Mechanisms, Diagnostic Approaches and Therapeutic Applications.
Review in Oncology research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Malignant melanoma (MM) is a highly aggressive skin cancer known for its rapid progression, potential for metastasis, and resistance to treatment. Despite advances in targeted therapies and immunotherapy, the prognosis for metastatic melanoma remains unfavorable. Recent research has shed light on the significance of epigenetic modifications in the pathogenesis of melanoma, revealing critical mechanisms of melanoma development and progression. Epigenetic modifications, including DNA and RNA modifications, histone modifications, chromatin remodeling, and non-coding RNA regulation, disrupt normal gene expression without modifying the DNA sequence, leading to cellular transformation, invasion, immune evasion, and therapeutic resistance. The reversible nature of epigenetic modifications opens up new opportunities for melanoma recognition and classification, as well as therapeutic applications, including the development of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers and innovative targeted therapies aimed at restoring normal gene function and enhancing the efficacy of existing treatments. This review will focus on the multifaceted role of epigenetic dysregulation in melanoma. The future integration of epigenetic data and genomic profiling with clinical outcomes, likely facilitated by artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, holds promise for personalized treatment strategies that are informed by precise and combinatorial diagnostic tools, ultimately improving melanoma care. The study aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of the current state of epigenetics in melanoma.
