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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveNeuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor found in pediatric patients. High-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NBL) can be characterized by metastasis, age, and other tumor characteristics that result in an adverse outlook for this patient cohort. The standard of care includes induction chemotherapy, surgery, followed by stem cell autologous transplant (ASCT), and later, antidisialoganglioside (anti-GD2) antibodies. In this study, we provide the survival and toxicity data of our HR-NBL patients treated with a single ASCT.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed pediatric HR-NBL patients treated with single ASCT after a carboplatin, etoposide, and melphalan (CEM) regimen in our institution between January 1993 and December 2014.

resultsThere were 99 evaluable patients with male predominance. The median age at diagnosis was 3 years. Most of our HR-NBL patients were stage 4 (88%). All patients received ASCT. Peripheral blood was the graft source in 58% of the patients. Time for hematological count recovery with bone marrow as a graft source was prolonged but not statistically significant when compared with PBSCs. Of all the patients, 58% received radiation therapy to residual disease. Overt secondary leukemia was not seen in any of these patients. Three-year overall survival (OS) was 68.5% ± 5.2% and the 3-year event-free survival (EFS) was (48.3% ± 5.2%).

conclusionOur HR-NBL patients tolerated high-dose chemotherapy well followed by single autologous stem cell transplant. Tandem transplant is a feasible option in our patient cohort. Apart from secondary solid tumors, there were no long-term complications seen.
