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 carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy with limited data to guide the management of metastatic disease. The optimal treatment strategies and outcomes of patients with metastatic ACC remain areas of active interest. We retrospectively reviewed patients with ACC who were treated with systemic therapy between January 1997 and October 2016 at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used for survival analysis. We identified 65 patients diagnosed with ACC during the given time period, and 36 patients received systemic therapy for distant metastatic disease. Median age at diagnosis was 50 (range 28-87). Median overall survival (OS) from time of diagnosis of ACC was 27 months (95% CI 19.6-39.3), and median OS from time of systemic treatment for metastatic disease was 18.7 months (95% CI 9.3-26.0). Clinical characteristics at time of initiation of systemic therapy were assessed, and presence of bone metastases (p = 0.66), ascites (p = 0.19), lung metastases (p = 0.12), liver metastases (p = 0.47), as well as hormonal activity of tumor (p = 0.19), were not prognostic for survival. Six patients with liver metastases treated with systemic therapy who received liver-directed therapy with either transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) or selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) had longer survival than those who did not (p = 0.011). Our data expands the knowledge of clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with ACC and suggests a possible role for incorporating liver-directed therapies for patients with hepatic metastases.
