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

Adrenocortical carcinomas (ACC) are rare and aggressive neoplasms. Due to their high rate of local recurrence and distant metastases (up to 85%) they are associated with a poor survival. The 5‑year survival in ACC patients with lymph node metastasis or local infiltration is 50% and with distant metastasis less than 15%. An R0 resection with locoregional and para-aortic/paracaval lymphadenectomy is the only curative option and reasonable treatment possibility. The treatment of these patients should therefore be planned and carried out in centers. Local recurrences and distant metastases should also be treated with R0 resection when feasible, combined with neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiation. In the case of an asymptomatic non-resectable ACC, debulking operations cannot be recommended. The primary operation can also be done in a minimally invasive procedure if principles of oncological surgery are followed (radical resection, no damage of the tumor capsule, lymphadenectomy), since survival after open and minimally invasive laparoscopic resection was comparable. Palliative resections are only indicated in symptomatic patients.
