Prognostic factors of primary intrascrotal rhabdomyosarcoma in children: a population-based study.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposePrimary intrascrotal rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare and aggressive tumor. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic factors of intrascrotal RMS in children.
methodsAll pediatric patients with intrascrotal RMS diagnosed between 2000 and 2018 were identified using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. To compare survival curves, the log-rank test was employed. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was developed to investigate the effect of each factor on overall survival (OS). A nomogram was created using the outcomes of the Cox regression model.
resultsA total of 102 pediatric patients with intrascrotal RMS were identified. Overall survival rates for all patients were 90.6% at 3-year and 87.2% at 5-year, respectively. Survival rates differed significantly by SEER stage and surgery; however, chemotherapy and removal of lymph nodes showed no significant difference. The outcome of Cox proportional hazard regression revealed that SEER stage and surgery were important independent predictors in this model. Furthermore, we developed a nomogram for predicting OS in pediatric intrascrotal RMS based on the Cox regression model. The risk of death increased with stage in patients. Additionally, patients who underwent surgery had a lower mortality risk than those who did not.
conclusionsOur findings show that SEER stage and surgery are the most important indicators of OS in children with intrascrotal RMS, providing critical epidemiological information for clinical therapy.
