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

This study aimed to confirm the independent risk factors for recurrence-free survival (RFS) in intermediate and high-risk neuroblastoma (NB) patients and set up an effective nomogram model for predicting the recurrence of NB. A total of 212 children with intermediate- and high-risk neuroblastoma, who had ever achieved complete remission (CR) or very good partial remission (VGPR) after standardized treatment in this hospital, were chosen as study objects. After retrospective analysis of the clinical data, Cox regression model was used to explore the factors related to the recurrence of neuroblastoma, to determine the variables to construct the Nomogram. The consistency index would predict the accuracy of this nomogram. RFS rate in 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year was 0.811, 0.662, 0.639, and 0.604, respectively. Children with MYCN amplification had a higher neuron-specific enolase (NSE) value (P = 0.031) at the initial diagnosis than MYCN non-amplification. The univariate analysis predicted that increased vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) and NSE value and dehydrogenase (LDH) > 1000 U/L were important adverse factors for the recurrence of NB. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that age at diagnosis, tumor localization, MYCN state, histologic subtype, and tumor capsule were significantly associated with RFS (all P values < 0.05). Nomograms were established for predicting the recurrence of NB according to the Cox regression analysis. Internal verification by the Bootstrap method showed that the prediction of the nomogram's consistency index (C-index) was 0.824 (P = 0.023).   Conclusion: Age at diagnosis, tumor localization, MYCN state, histologic category, and tumor capsule were independent risk factors for the recurrence of NB. The nomogram model could accurately predict the recurrence of children with neuroblastoma. What is Known: • The prognoses of neuroblastoma (NB) could vary greatly due to the high heterogeneity, the 5-year survival rate of low-risk NB exceeded 90%, while the 5-year survival rate of children in the intermediate and high-risk groups was not satisfactory.. What is New: • Increased vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) value, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)>1000U/L were important adverse factors for the recurrence of NB. • NSE value was more valuable for predicting NB recurrence.
