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

Wilms tumor (WT) is the most common renal malignancy of childhood. The common metastatic sites are the lungs, liver, and lymph nodes, with brain and bone metastases occurring rarely. Metastatic disease can be present at initial diagnosis or may occur with relapse or disease progression. The majority of relapses in WT occur within the first two years post-treatment. Late relapses are rare. This article describes four cases of WT, each demonstrating an unusual site or timing of metastases. Case 1 presented primarily with jaw metastases, Case 2 presented with bone (vertebrae) and spinal metastases manifesting as paraplegia, at relapse one year after completion of treatment, Case 3 presented with isolated liver metastases four years after treatment completion, and Case 4 presented with brain metastases after six weeks of treatment abandonment. This case series demonstrates the varied pattern of metastases of WT and highlights the need for a high index of suspicion for WT among patients who present with unusual sites of tumor or for metastasis in those who present with neurologic symptoms during or after treatment.
