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

introductionAdrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is associated with poor outcomes. We compared surgical outcomes between children and adult; and identified factors independently associated with survival.

methodsUsing the National Cancer Database, children and adults with ACC who underwent surgery between 2004 and 2016 were identified. We compared outcomes and survival between groups. Cox regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of survival.

resultsOf 2553 patients, 2.8% were children. A higher proportion of children were Hispanic (19.1%vs.6.6%) and covered by government insurance (45.1%vs.35.8%) than adults. More pediatric patients received lymphadenectomy and chemotherapy than adults. Pediatric patients had better survival at 1 -(91.4%; 95%CI: 81.2%-96.0% vs.79.6%; 95%CI: 77.9%-81.1%) and 5-years (60.6%; 95%CI:47.5%-71.3% vs.44.9%; 95%CI 42.7%- 47.0) (p = 0.0016). Age≥18 (HR: 2.21(1.50-3.27)), metastatic disease at diagnosis (HR: 3.51(3.04-4.04)), and receipt of lymphadenectomy (HR: 1.30(1.14-1.48)) were independently associated with worse survival.

conclusionsChildren with ACC had better survival than adults. Factors independently associated with worse survival included older age, metastatic disease, and receipt of lymph node surgery.
