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

aimThe authors present a retrospective analysis of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) data from patients with primary cutaneous melanoma treated at the National Institute of Oncology.

methodsA total of 806 patients who underwent SLNB between 2020 and 2025 were included. Primary tumor characteristics were evaluated in relation to progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) and, in SLNB-positive patients, the impact of adjuvant therapies was assessed.

resultsBreslow thickness showed a significant negative association with both PFS and OS. Significant differences in survival outcomes were also observed between SLNB-positive and SLNB-negative patients. Among SLNB-positive patients, no significant difference in PFS was detected between those receiving adjuvant therapy and those who did not, nor among different adjuvant modalities. However, adjuvant therapy was associated with a significant improvement in OS.

conclusionsAlthough our findings differ from results reported in clinical trials, longer follow-up is required for proper conclusions.
