Survival of patients with orbital and eyelid rhabdomyosarcoma treated on Children's Oncology Group studies from 1997 to 2013: A report from the Children's Oncology Group.
Article in Cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundOrbital rhabdomyosarcoma (ORMS) commonly presents as low-risk disease (stage 1, group I-III, embryonal RMS) with excellent outcome. Long-term follow-up of patients with low-risk ORMS and outcomes of less common subgroups of ORMS treated on recent Children's Oncology Group (COG) trials have not been reported.
methodsPatients with ORMS enrolled on COG trials from 1997 to 2013 were identified. Demographic information and disease characteristics were collected. Outcomes were determined for the following subgroups: 1) low-risk ORMS, 2) resected (group I/II) low-risk ORMS, 3) non-low-risk ORMS, and 4) recurrent ORMS. Event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. ResultsThe authors identified 218 patients with ORMS. Most tumors were embryonal/botryoid (n = 169; 77.5%), <5 cm (n = 213; 97.7%), group III (n = 170; 78.0%), and without lymph node involvement (N0; n = 215; 98.6%). For 192 patients with low-risk ORMS, the 10-year EFS and OS rates were 85.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 77.0%-94.0%) and 95.6% (95% CI, 90.8%-100.0%), respectively. Those with group I/II low-risk ORMS (n = 5 in group I; n = 39 in group IIA) had 10-year EFS and OS rates of 88.0% (95% CI, 72.6%-100.0%) and 97.6% (95% CI, 90.0%-100.0%), respectively. Twenty-six patients with non-low-risk ORMS had 5-year EFS and OS rates of 88.5% (95% CI, 75.6%-100.0%) and 95.8% (95% CI, 87.7%-100.0%), respectively. For patients with recurrent ORMS, the 10-year OS rate from the time of recurrence was 69.4% (95% CI, 50.0%-88.8%).
conclusionsPatients with ORMS had favorable long-term survival outcomes on COG studies from 1997 to 2013, including those who had both low-risk and non-low-risk disease. A significant proportion of patients with recurrent ORMS may achieve long-term survival.
