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

purposeTo explore the relationship between image-defined risk factors and surgical complications of localized neuroblastoma.

methodsWe retrospectively evaluated 84 patients who met the inclusion criteria at our hospitals between June 2014 and June 2019. Patients' clinic data were collected and the common terminology criteria for adverse events were used to categorize complications as major (grade 3-4) or minor (grade 1-2).

resultsFour (11.8%) out of 34 stage L1 patients and 15 (30.0%) out of 50 stage L2 patients had surgical complications (P < 0.05). Seventy patents underwent primary surgery, including all stage L1 patients and 36 stage L2 patients. There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding surgical complications or major surgical complications. Among stage L2 patients, 2 (5.6%) out of 36 who underwent primary surgery and 2 (14.3%) out of 14 who underwent secondary surgery had major surgical complications (P < 0.05). Complete tumor resection was achieved in 18 (50%) and 7 (50%) patients in each group (P > 0.05). The mean numbers of IDRFs were 2.06 and 4.29, respectively (P < 0.05).

conclusionsLocalized neuroblastoma patients with IDRFs have a greater surgical risk. And the number of IDRFs is not ignorable, especially in predicting major surgical complications.
