A rare case of choroidal melanoma in Iraq: a case report.
Article in Oxford medical 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
Choroidal melanoma is globally the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults; however, it remains rarely reported in the Middle East. We report the case of a 38-year-old Iraqi woman who was diagnosed with choroidal melanoma. Five years later, she developed persistent gastric discomfort despite negative regular surveillance CT findings; however, further evaluation with linear endoscopic ultrasound revealed a hypoechoic lesion in the gastric fundus. And the metastatic melanoma was confirmed through histopathological examination, supported by immunohistochemical staining. The age at diagnosis in Asian populations is often younger. It was postulated that the age at presentation might likely get lower with implementation of improved screening strategies. In Asian nations Choroidal melanoma are detected late due to inadequate screening and reduced reporting. Moreover, the diagnosis of gastric melanoma can be challenging, as these metastases often remain clinically masked and CT/PET imaging studies have many pitfalls.
