The impact of the lymph node density on overall survival in patients with Wilms' tumor: a SEER analysis.
Article in Cancer management and research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
objectiveThe objective of this study was to determine the impact of the lymph node density (LND) on overall survival of patients with Wilms' tumor (WT) using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.
methodsData from the SEER database were extracted from patients with WT in whom the LND could be obtained. Patients were divided into a low LND group and high LND group. Survival curves based on the LND stratification were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with the log-rank test. The impact of prognostic factors on overall survival was analyzed using Cox regression models.
resultsA total of 1,924 patients were identified from the database. Overall survival for the low LND group at 5, 10, and 20 years was significantly better than the high LND group (5-year survival: 94.1% vs 81.4%; 10-year survival: 92.6% vs 80.8%; 20-year survival: 90.6% vs 79.1%;
conclusionLND was a significant risk factor for overall survival of patients with WT. LND may provide a better prediction of the prognosis of WT patients and may be helpful for designing better treatments.
