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

purpose of reviewThe purpose of this manuscript is to review the progress in the field of therapeutics for malignant pheochromocytomas and sympathetic paraganglioma (MPPG) over the past 5 years. RECENT

findingsThe manuscript will describe the clinical predictors of survivorship and their influence on the first TNM staging classification for pheochromocytomas and sympathetic paragangliomas, the treatment of hormonal complications, and the rationale that supports the resection of the primary tumor and metastases in patients with otherwise incurable disease. Therapeutic options for patients with bone metastasis to the spine will be presented. The manuscript will also review chemotherapy and propose a maintenance regimen with dacarbazine for patients initially treated with cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and dacarbazine. Finally, the manuscript will review preliminary results of several phase 2 clinical trials of novel radiopharmaceutical agents and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. MPPGs are very rare neuroendocrine tumors. MPPGs are usually characterized by a large tumor burden, excessive secretion of catecholamines, and decreased overall survival. Recent discoveries have enhanced our knowledge of the pathogenesis and phenotypes of MPPG. This knowledge is leading to a better understanding of the indications and limitations of the currently available localized and systemic therapies as well as the development of phase 2 clinical trials for novel medications.
