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

Histopathological assessment of melanocytic proliferations remains the gold standard for their correct classification. The most recent 5th edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of melanocytic tumours incorporates cumulative sun damage and, in particular, molecular genetic changes to achieve this task, and recognizes nine different genetic pathways leading to melanoma development. Melanoma is therefore not a single disease genetically, but rather represents nine different well-defined clinicopathological entities that differ in terms of biological behaviour and their response to various treatment modalities. In this article, genetic pathways in the development of cutaneous melanoma are reviewed, and practical recommendations for pathologists with regards to molecular testing are provided.
