Long-term follow-up of patients with intermediate-risk neuroblastoma treated with response- and biology-based therapy: A report from the Children's Oncology Group study ANBL0531.
Article in Pediatric blood & cancer, 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
backgroundWe previously reported excellent three-year overall survival (OS) for patients with newly diagnosed intermediate-risk neuroblastoma treated with a biology- and response-based algorithm on the Children's Oncology Group study ANBL0531. We now present the long-term follow-up results.
methodsAll patients who met the age, stage, and tumor biology criteria for intermediate-risk neuroblastoma were eligible. Treatment was based on prognostic biomarkers and overall response. Event-free survival (EFS) and OS were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method.
resultsThe 10-year EFS and OS for the entire study cohort (n = 404) were 82.0% (95% confidence interval (CI), 77.2%-86.9%) and 94.7% (95% CI, 91.8%-97.5%), respectively. International Neuroblastoma Staging System stage 4 patients (n = 133) had inferior OS compared with non-stage 4 patients (n = 271; 10-year OS: 90.8% [95% CI, 84.5%-97.0%] vs 96.6% [95% CI, 93.9%-99.4%], p = .02). Infants with stage 4 tumors with ≥1 unfavorable biological feature (n = 47) had inferior EFS compared with those with favorable biology (n = 61; 10-year EFS: 66.8% [95% CI, 50.4%-83.3%] vs 86.9% [95% CI, 76.0%-97.8%], p = .02); OS did not differ (10-year OS: 84.4% [95% CI, 71.8%-97.0%] vs 95.0% [95% CI, 87.7%-100.0%], p = .08). Inferior EFS but not OS was observed among patients with tumors with (n = 26) versus without (n = 314) 11q loss of heterozygosity (10-year EFS: 68.4% [95% CI, 44.5%-92.2%] vs 83.9% [95% CI, 78.7%-89.2%], p = .03; 10-year OS: 88.0% [95% CI, 72.0%-100.0%] vs 95.7% [95% CI, 92.8%-98.6%], p = .09).
conclusionsThe ANBL0531 trial treatment algorithm resulted in excellent long-term survival. More effective treatments are needed for subsets of patients with unfavorable biology tumors.
