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

BACKGROUND/

aimData regarding the clinicopathological factors predicting recurrence and prognosis in patients with vulvar extramammary Paget disease (VPD) are limited. Therefore, we aimed to identify predictive factors for recurrence and outcomes in patients with VPD. PATIENTS AND

methodsForty-five patients with VPD were included in this study. We reviewed electronic medical records and pathology slides to collect clinicopathological information.

resultsEighteen cases (40.0%) had resection margin (RM) involvement. Twelve patients (26.7%) received adjuvant radiation therapy (RT). Ten patients (22.2%) experienced recurrence. The recurrence rate was higher in patients who underwent wide local excision or simple vulvectomy than in those who underwent radical vulvectomy. Positive RM involvement was a significant and independent predictive factor for worse recurrence-free survival (RFS). The overall survival rate of patients who received adjuvant RT was significantly higher than that of those who underwent surgery alone.

conclusionA positive RM involvement independently predicted worse RFS. The recurrence rate was significantly associated with the type of surgical procedure performed. Additionally, adjuvant RT can improve the prognosis of patients with VPD.
