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

A retrospective analysis of data from the European Rhabdoid Registry (EU-RHAB) was performed to describe the outcome of children with atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (AT/RT) who underwent high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) with auto-SCT. Nineteen patients (male, n=15; median age at diagnosis 21 months) were identified. Nine patients presented with metastatic disease at diagnosis. A partial or subtotal resection was achieved in 11, a total resection in five and a biopsy in three patients. Patients received a median of six chemotherapy cycles prior to HDCT. Additional radiotherapy was performed in 14 patients (first-line, n=9; following progression, n=5). Six patients underwent tandem auto-SCT. Disease status before HDCT was CR in six, PR in eight, stable disease in two and progressive disease (PD) in two patients (data missing, n=1). With a median follow-up of 16 months, 14 patients progressed. Estimated progression-free and OS at 2 years were 29% (±11%) and 50% (±12%), respectively. At last follow-up, eight patients were alive (first CR, n=4; second CR, n=2; PR, n=1; PD, n=1). Eleven patients died of PD. Median time-to-progression was 14 months. Selected patients with AT/RT might benefit from HDCT with radiotherapy. The definitive impact of this treatment modality has to be evaluated prospectively in a randomized trial.
