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

purposeAtypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumour is a rare and aggressive childhood tumour. The outcome of a series treated with the same multimodal strategy was reported. PATIENTS: The patients were treated with surgery, 2 courses of ifosfamide/carboplatin/etoposide(ICE), 2 courses of cyclophosphamide/etoposide/carboplatino/thiotepa (CECAT) or 2 other ICE courses, high dose chemotherapy (HDC) and radiotherapy.

resultsEight patients underwent primary surgery achieving a complete removal in 3. Progressive disease (PD) occurred in 2/8 patients during ICE courses and in 3/4 during CECAT courses. After 4 courses 5 patients presented a PD. HDC was performed in 3 patients followed by local radiotherapy. The Kaplan Meier OS and EFS probability at 5 years are, respectively, 50% (CI 11-80%) and 33% (CI 6-66%).

conclusionA strategy based on surgery, including a second surgical look, and on radiotherapy appears the best option. ICE regimen and HDC correlate with good prognosis in some patients but this approach needs further evaluation.
