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

Objective: This study aimed to summarize and analyze the clinical and pathological features and prognostic risk factors of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical and pathological data and the prognoses of 39 adult ACC patients confirmed by pathologic diagnosis at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University between August 2009 and October 2021. Kaplan-Meier curves and univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were used to analyze correlations between clinical and pathological parameters and prognosis. A nomogram prediction model was constructed for overall survival (OS) based on the independent prognostic factors and externally validated it with The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. Results: The mean age of the patient cohort was 53.87 ± 11.1 years (range: 29-80 years), which included 17 men and 22 women. The 1-, 2-, and 5-year OS rates were 83.7%, 64.4%, and 59.8%, respectively; the recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates at the same time points were 76.1%, 45.8%, and 23.5%, respectively. Kaplan-Meier curves showed that patients with poor OS were associated with M1 stage (P = 0.008), late ENSAT stage ( Conclusion: ACC is a rare and deadly endocrine malignancy with a high rate of recurrence. High Ki67 index (>20%) and R1/R2 resection status were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in ACC patients. A novel nomogram with a relatively good accuracy was established to assist clinicians in assessing the risk of OS in patients with ACC.
