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

contextSDHB p.R90X germline mutation is the most common genetic alteration in our patients with familial or apparently sporadic pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL).

objectiveTo analyze the clinical and pathological characteristics, response to therapy, and outcome of patients with SDHB p.R90X-associated PPGL and describe the clinical phenotypic variability in the patients carrying this mutation.

methodsWe reviewed the clinical and pathological characteristics and analyzed the phenotypic variability of all 13 patients that have SDHB p.R90X mutation-associated PPGL.

resultsThirteen patients (five females and eight males). The median age at diagnosis was 23 years (range 8-43). Although the mutation was the same, there was significant phenotypic variability between patients and even within the same family. Four patients (30.8%) had a family history of PPGL and six patients (46%) had distant metastasis. Surgery of the primary tumor was performed in 11 patients (84.6%). Two patients had inoperable PPGL. Patients with metastasis received different combinations of chemotherapy, Lu

conclusionSDHB p.R90X mutation-associated PPGL have significant phenotypic variability and are associated with a high risk of distant metastasis and mortality.
