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

Choroidal melanoma (CM) is the most common type of uveal melanoma (UM), which represents the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults, and it is characterized by a high risk of distant metastasis despite adequate local treatment. While the liver is the predominant site of relapse, isolated pulmonary involvement can occur, which represents an uncommon clinical phenotype. We report the case of a 47-year-old woman with late isolated lung metastasis from previously treated CM, diagnosed eight years after primary treatment with episcleral brachytherapy. Comprehensive genomic profiling revealed a high tumor mutational burden (TMB) of 16.5 mutations/Mb and a somatic nonsense neurofibromin 1 (NF1) variant (p.R2637*), in the absence of B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) mutation or neuroblastoma RAS viral oncogene homolog (NRAS) mutation, findings atypical for UM. The patient was human leukocyte antigen A02:01 (HLA-A02:01) negative, precluding tebentafusp therapy. She received dual immune checkpoint blockade (nivolumab 1 mg/kg plus ipilimumab 3 mg/kg), experiencing manageable cutaneous and endocrine toxicities. However, she subsequently experienced disease progression. Subsequent management included stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) (45 Gy in five fractions) and cytotoxic chemotherapy with carboplatin area under the curve 5 (AUC 5) and paclitaxel (175 mg/m
