New endpoints in adrenocortical carcinoma studies: a mini review.
Review in Endocrine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
purposeAdrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a very rare and aggressive malignant disease. Therefore, overall survival (OS) has long been considered as the best endpoint. Yet, a unique endpoint is not optimal to take into account the heterogeneity in tumor profile and the diversification of therapeutic option. The purpose of this mini review was to describe endpoints used in the past, present and future in the field of ACC.
methodsPubmed and Clinicaltrial.gov were used to identify relevant studies.
resultsBefore year 2000 only three endpoints were regularly used: OS, recurrence-free survival (RFS) and response rate. These endpoints were used because ACC was seen as a homogeneous diseases with a high recurrence rate and low rate of long-term survival. Since 2000; along with the apparition of new class of drug, progression-free survival (PFS) has been more and more used. Other endpoints as "time to chemotherapy" or "Progression-free survival 2" were used to evaluate multimodal therapies or treatment with a delayed action. Finally, there is a hope that in the near future, quality of life along with other patient-reported outcomes may be used more frequently.
conclusionWhile OS and PFS are currently the most used endpoints in ACC, new endpoints are needed to better take into account the challenges offered by different situations and treatment strategies.
