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

backgroundAdult retinoblastoma (RB) is a rare intraocular tumor, leading to delayed diagnosis and, eventually, enucleation of the involved eyes. Therefore, this diagnosis should be considered if attributable signs and symptoms occurred. Here, the authors report a case of an adult group D RB, treated successfully with intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) as primary treatment followed by cryotherapy. The authors briefly review the literature on the prognosis and management of adult RB.

conclusionIt seems that IAC, as the first line of treatment, either alone or in conjunction with adjuvant therapies may allow us to salvage the globe of adult patients involved with RB.
