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

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) in childhood is rare: in 2002, only three new cases were reported in Japan. Although there is no established therapeutic management system, margin-free complete surgical excision of the tumor is very important to a satisfactory outcome. We report a case of ACC with bilateral pulmonary metastasis in a 10-year-old boy. Preoperative chest computed tomography (CT) showed pulmonary metastasis with near-water density. The patient was treated successfully with complete surgical resection of the primary tumor and adjuvant chemotherapy, including mitotane. After bilateral lung surgery for the metastatic lesions, the plasma dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate level became negative.
