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

Purpose: To report an aggressive case of melanocytoma with evidence of malignant melanoma transformation in a young patient with MEN1 syndrome. Observations: A 24-year-old female with known MEN1 syndrome presented with new onset floaters in the right eye. Posterior examination demonstrated a pigmented mass. Initial biopsy demonstrated evidence of melanocytoma. Within 4 months, the patient returned with remarkable tumor growth, significantly decreased vision, and pain. Enucleation ensued and pathology revealed ciliary body melanocytoma with evidence of early malignant transformation to melanoma. A somatic gene panel for uveal melanoma was negative, however next generation sequencing demonstrated a variant in Conclusions and importance: This case demonstrates a rare and rapid progression of uveal melanocytoma in the setting of MEN1. While suspected genetic analysis of key uveal melanoma genes remained negative, final biopsy yielded a transforming melanocytoma with an
