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

Neuroblastoma is a unique malignancy in infants often presenting with either localized or metastatic disease. The study was carried out to explore the risk stratification of the poor prognosis for patients underwent surgical treatment.60 patients diagnosed with neuroblastoma were primarily enrolled in the study from April 2008 to April 2016. All the patients underwent surgical treatment and received 5-year follow-up. Clinical variables, including age, International Neuroblastoma Staging System (INSS) stage, tumor size and site, histology, and MYCN status were retrospectively analyzed, and EFS was chosen as the endpoint.The median age of patients was 8.2 months and average follow-up period was 40.2 ± 8.6 months. Among 60 patients, complete remission was achieved in 35 patients and partial remission in 14 subjects. Poor prognosis including patient death and tumor progression were overserved in 11 patients. Cox multifactor regression analysis revealed that age, histology and MYCN status had significant prognostic effect on event-free survival (EFS) rate for neuroblastoma patients underwent surgical treatment.In our study, we identified a series of prognostic factors including age, histology, and MYCN status predicting the prognosis of neuroblastoma patients after surgical treatment.
