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

objectiveTo investigate the clinical features and outcomes of neuroblastoma (NB) children aged above 5 years, and to provide a theoretical basis for improving prognosis.

methodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 54 previously untreated NB children, and their clinical features and outcome were analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis.

resultsAmong the 54 children, there were 36 boys and 18 girls, and all of them had stage 3 or 4 NB. Of all the children, 41 (41/54, 76%) had retroperitoneal space-occupying lesions, 10 (10/54, 18%) had mediastinal space-occupying lesions, 2 (2/54, 4%) had intraspinal space-occupying lesions, and 1 (1/54, 2%) had pelvic space-occupying lesions. At the end of the follow-up, 30 children (30/54, 56%) survived, among whom 23 (77%) achieved disease-free survival (9 achieved complete remission after chemotherapy for recurrence), 6 (20%) achieved partial remission of tumor (all of them received chemotherapy again due to recurrence), and 1 (3%) experienced progression (with progression after chemotherapy again due to recurrence); 24 children (44%) died, among whom 22 died after chemotherapy again due to recurrence and 2 died of multiple organ failure during the first treatment. According to the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, the mean survival time was 53.8 months, and the children with stage 3 NB had a significantly higher overall survival rate than those with stage 4 NB (80% vs 53%; p<0.01). The children with recurrence had a significantly lower mean survival time than those without recurrence (51.68 months vs 62.57 months; p<0.01).

conclusionsOlder children often have late-stage NB, but standard treatment can improve their outcomes.
