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

importanceAs the most common subtype of pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), the prognosis of embryonal RMS has rarely been investigated solely.

objectiveTo perform a population-based study to characterize the prognosis of embryonal RMS in children and adolescents.

methodsDemographic and clinical features were retrospectively evaluated in selected patients with embryonal RMS registered in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program from 1988 to 2016. Survival curves were compared using the log-rank test. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was developed to assess the impact of each factor on the overall survival. A nomogram was constructed based on the results of Cox regression model.

resultsA total of 464 patients were included in the analysis, among which 64.6% were male and 70.2% were white patients. About 38.6% and 26.3% of the patients were at 1-4 years and 5-9 years, respectively. Cox analysis showed that patients at age group 5-9 years had the lowest risk of mortality (hazard ratio [

interpretationAge, stage at diagnosis, and treatment received were found to be the most important predictors of the overall survival of pediatric embryonal RMS.
