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

backgroundThere are limited reports of intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) for retinoblastoma (RB) from developing world.

objectivesIn this study, we report our 4-year experience of IAC for RB from India.

methodsRetrospective, interventional case series. Primary outcome measures included tumor regression, vitreous seeds and subretinal seeds control, and globe salvage. Secondary outcome measures were best-corrected visual acuity and treatment complications.

resultsFifteen eyes underwent 53 IAC procedures over mean 28.6 ± 13.8 months (range 10-51 months). IAC was employed as primary (

conclusionIAC has enhanced globe salvage rates in eyes with RB. Multicenter studies with longer follow-up are necessary to better understand outcomes in the long term.
