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

Uveal melanoma (UM) is one of the most prevalent types of intraocular melanomas, which has relatively high morbidity and mortality rates despite being a rare disease. Genetic modifications are one of the prime driving forces behind cellular growth, proliferation, and migration in UM, among which mutation of driver genes (e.g., GNA11, GNAQ, BAP1, EIF1AX, and SF3B1, etc.) and epigenetic modifications (e.g., DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs) are the key drivers behind oncogenesis. A feasible treatment approach for UM could be gene therapy targeting these genetic mutations and implicated pathways. In this review, current therapeutic options for the treatment of primary and metastatic UM will be briefly discussed in the context of the major driver gene and epigenetic mutations in UM. Primary focus will be on the current state of RNA interference, non-coding RNA, gene editing, gene replacement, and suicide gene therapies for UM, including prospective targeting strategies.
