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

backgroundRhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma of adolescence and childhood. Although most patients with localized RMS are cured, outcome of those with metastatic disease remains unsatisfactory. RMS with bone marrow (BM) metastasis accounts for approximately 6% of all cases with RMS and has a 3-year event-free survival of 14%. Our study aims to describe our institution's experience of patients with metastatic RMS with BM involvement.

methodsThis was a single-institution retrospective study from Memorial Sloan Kettering Kids, a tertiary pediatric oncology center. Patients with RMS who were diagnosed with BM metastasis between 1998 and 2018 were identified from pathology reports.

resultsFor patients with RMS and BM positivity at diagnosis (N = 27), the median survival was 1.5 years. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year overall survival (OS) were 81%, 32%, and 20%, respectively. There is one long-term (defined as >4 year) survivor who is still alive 14.9 years after diagnosis despite two metastatic recurrences. An Oberlin status of 4 that included BM metastasis portended a 3-year OS of 0%.

conclusionsAlthough most patients will respond to initial therapy, BM metastasis at the time of diagnosis lends a near-fatal diagnosis in pediatric patients with RMS. Novel therapies are desperately needed to consolidate their initial remission.
