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

Systemic chemotherapy is a standard treatment for Stage IVc nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Stage IVc NPC patients with oligometastases have a better prognosis, and local therapy has an important role in further development of the disease. However, the efficacy of local therapy to the metastases in patients with multiple-site and/or multiple-organ metastases is limited due to the aggressive behavior of the tumor. We report a NPC case in a pediatric patient with repeated oligometastases involving the bone, liver and distant lymph nodes who achieved 10-year disease free status after initial chemotherapy and radiotherapy to all the metastases. This very rare case demonstrated that radiotherapy to oligometastatic lesions have a potential to cure repeated oligometastases which involved multiple-organ metastases in a pediatric NPC with stage IVc.
