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

A 57-year-old woman was diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma. Following the adrenalectomy, she underwent adjuvant radiation and mitotane therapy; however, liver metastases were observed. Repeated radiofrequency ablation (RFA) was performed for liver metastases. In addition, a multidisciplinary approach combining systemic chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery was used for lung and distant lymph node metastases that arose during the course of treatment. Notably, 49 months have passed since the adrenalectomy and 36 months since the recurrence of the liver metastases, and the patient remains on multidisciplinary therapy. Thus, RFA for liver metastasis of adrenocortical carcinoma may be an effective component of a multidisciplinary treatment.
