Intraoral desmoplastic melanoma requiring radical multidisciplinary resection and free flap reconstruction: case report and literature review.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Desmoplastic melanoma (DM) is a rare variant of malignant melanoma characterized by spindle cell proliferation within dense collagenous stroma and atypical immunohistochemical profile. Intraoral involvement is exceedingly uncommon and poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report the case of a male patient in his fourth decade presenting with enlarging right orofacial mass associated with extensive soft tissue and osseous infiltration. Histopathological evaluation revealed infiltrative spindle cell neoplasm with focal melanin pigment and limited expression of conventional melanocytic markers, requiring integrated diagnostic approach. The patient underwent radical en bloc resection followed by immediate reconstruction using anterolateral thigh free flap. Adjuvant systemic therapy was not administered; however, it was evaluated within multidisciplinary tumor board. At 12-month follow-up, no locoregional recurrence was observed. This case underscores diagnostic complexity of intraoral DM and highlights importance of multidisciplinary oncologic approach in optimizing management outcome.
