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

The discovery that mutations in the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) complex subunit (SDHA, B/C/D/AF2) genes predispose patients to the development of tumors has led to the identification of a large population of patients and relatives at risk for developing malignancies. The most frequent conditions associated with these mutations are the familial paraganglioma syndromes. Other tumors that are frequently associated with SDH mutations (SDHx) are gastrointestinal stromal tumors and renal cell carcinomas. A number of other rare associations have also been described. SDHx mutations are often clinically silent and metastatic, but they may also be aggressive in their presentation. The penetrance of these mutations is beginning to be understood, and the characteristics of the phenotype are being elucidated. However, the inability to accurately predict the appearance, nature, and location of tumors as well as their tendency to recur or metastasize pose challenges to those who counsel and manage patients with SDHx mutations. In this work, we present our approach for counseling these families in the context of the current uncertainties, while striving to maintain patient autonomy.
