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

Sentinel lymph node biopsy was the first procedure to become the standard of care in the surgical treatment of melanoma patients, serving as a key procedure for determining the pathological stage of the disease. Thirty years ago, at the Albert Szent-Györgyi Clinical Center of the University of Szeged, we were among the pioneers in introducing sentinel lymph node biopsy for patients with melanoma in Hungary. In this publication, we summarize our experience gained during the treatment of two and a half thousand melanoma patients, based on our previously published reports on the subject. Our data support that sentinel lymph node biopsy remains the most important guide for oncologists in determining adjuvant treatment for patients. The management of melanoma patients should continue to be based on decisions made by multidisciplinary teams in specialized centers, where all diagnostic and therapeutic modalities are available to implement personalized therapies.
