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

backgroundThe goal of this study is to assess the newest survival of hepatoblastoma (HB) and the risk factors which impacted on survival by using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database, also calculate the incidence of HB in recent years.

methodsWe calculate age-adjusted incidence of HB by using SEER 21 registries. Age, sex, race, tumor size, macrovascular involvement, multifocal tumor, distant metastasis, the way of treatment, and the survival were collected for survival and analysis of prognostic factors in SEER 18 registries. Survival curves, according to different factors, were obtained by Kaplan-Meier estimates. Multivariable Cox regression models were also built.

resultsThe overall age-adjusted incidence of HB was 0.19 patients per 100,000 children with a statistically significant increase per year. Overall survival (OS) at 1-, 3- and 5-year for all patients were 89.3%, 84.6%, and 81.9%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed tumor size >5 cm [hazard ratio (HR), 8.271; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.134-60.310], multiple tumors (HR, 2.578; 95% CI, 1.424-4.668) and no-surgery treatment (HR, 7.520; 95% CI, 4.121-13.724) were independent indicators of poor prognosis. Only the age ≥2-year-old (HR, 3.240; 95% CI, 1.433-7.326) and multiple tumors (HR, 2.395; 95% CI, 1.057-5.430) were the risk factors for the surgical treatment group.

conclusionsThe survival of patients with HB has been greatly improved in the recent years, and at the same time, due to the application of better chemotherapy, we should re-evaluate the traditional risk indicators of prognosis in order to better apply to the clinical.
