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

backgroundSurgery is the best treatment for primary GIST and may be curative, but resection extension/completeness impact on the prognosis remains controversial. The authors aim was to evaluate the clinicopathological (CP) parameters and surgical margins status influence on GIST patients' outcome. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe study evaluated 113 consecutive patients with sporadic GIST; the influence of CP parameters on recurrence-free survival (RFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) was determined by univariate analysis (UA) and multivariate analysis (MA).

resultsOf 104 cases, macroscopically complete resection was achieved in 96: R0 surgical margin status in 78 and R1 in 18. Recurrence rates (12.5%) were significantly lower in R0 (9.0%) than in R1 (27.8%). Tumor > 10 cm, mitotic count > 5/50 high power field (HPF), and high-risk GIST predicted poor RFS and DSS (UA). Disease-specific survival was significantly shorter after macroscopic incomplete (R2) resection, for mixed cellular morphology, and in tumors with necrosis (UA). High-risk GIST (p = 0.016) and R2 resection (p = 0.013) predicted poor DSS of patients (MA).

conclusionsHigh risk and positive macroscopic surgical margin status are parameters associated with poor disease-specific survival in GIST patients.
