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

purposeThe cure rate of stage I seminoma patients is close to 100% and so the recent focus of clinical research has shifted onto the prevention of treatment-related complications. We assessed long-term cardiovascular complications and identified risk factors for cardiovascular events (CVEs) in stage I seminoma patients.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 406 consecutive stage I seminoma patients. Primary endpoint was CVE rate.

resultsDuring a median follow-up of 8.6 years, we observed 23 CVEs in 406 patients [10-year CVE risk 5.6% (95% CI 3.2 to 8.8)]. In univariable competing risk analysis, higher age, positive smoking status, history of diabetes and hypertension were significantly associated with the occurrence of CVE. In multi-state analysis, new onset of diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia during follow-up predicted for an excessively increased CVE risk. In multivariable analysis adjusting for age and smoking, the development of hypertension and hyperlipidemia after tumor-specific treatment prevailed as risk factors for CVE. Regarding adjuvant treatment modalities, patients receiving adjuvant radiotherapy had a significantly higher probability of CVE than patients receiving adjuvant carboplatin [16% vs. 0%; risk difference (RD) = 16%, 95% CI 6 to 25%, p = 0.001]. This difference prevailed after adjusting for age, follow-up-time, diabetes, hypertension and smoking (RD = 11%, 95% CI 1 to 20%, p = 0.025).

conclusionWe identified a panel of baseline risk factors and dynamically, occurring predictors of CVE in stage I seminoma patients. This information may be used for targeting comorbidity management in these patients. The observed association of adjuvant radiotherapy with higher CVE risk warrants further investigation.
