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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to elucidate our experience in the diagnosis and treatment of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the vulva (ACC-vulva) and to assess the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis among ACC-vulva patients.

methodsA retrospective study of seventeen patients was performed to illustrate the demographic information, clinical performance, pathological characteristics, treatment modality, and development of local recurrence or distant metastasis, as well as the survival outcome.

resultsThe median age at diagnosis was 56 years (range, 26-71 years). Radical local excision was performed on fifteen patients, and two patient received radical hemi-vulvectomy. Six patients received ipsilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy. Involvement of the resection margin was observed in six patients. The postoperative pathologic diagnosis showed no proof of inguinal lymph node metastasis in all the six patients receiving lymphadenectomy. However, the perineural invasion was observed in all patients. Postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy was applied to five patients who had positive resection margin. The mean survival time except for that in four patients (recent case) was 47.8 months (range, 23-78 months).

conclusionRadical resection towards negative margins seems to be acceptable as initial treatment. Adjuvant radiotherapy is a preferable treatment modality for patients with high-risk factors pathologically or patients with local recurrence.
